One Pot Vegan Mac and Cheese
Report
This creamy one pot vegan mac and cheese is so simple, it’s basically magic. Four ingredients is all it takes. No cashews, no butter, no milk, and no roux!

Ingredients
- 8 oz dried macaroni pasta (= half a box)
- 2 cups vegan cheese shreds (see Note 1)
- 2 cups milk of your choice (see Note 2)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Add macaroni, cheese, and milk to a Dutch oven or stockpot. Cover with a lid and set it on medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking.
- Once the pasta begins boiling, remove the lid. Turn the heat down to medium low and maintain a gentle simmer, uncovered.
- Simmer for the cook time indicated on your pasta package (or a few minutes longer if you prefer softer pasta), stirring occasionally. If you find your cheeze sauce is getting too dry before the pasta is fully cooked, stir in more milk, 1/4 cup at a time.
- Stir in the salt and add more to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Cheese: I have tested this recipe with just about every vegan cheese brand available to me. Here's a list: Daiya, Emborg, Farm Boy, Ilchester Applewood, Nafsika’s Garden, Nurishh, Parmela Creamery, Violife, Vitalite. They all work. You can even use sliced cheese or whole cheese blocks; just tear them into smaller pieces to help them melt faster. The types of vegan cheese that may not perform so well are: cream cheese, homemade cheese, and the more “artisanal” nut-based soft cheeses.
Milk: As with the cheese, any unflavoured plant-based milk will work. If you’re in a pinch, even water will do the job. Personally I think Homemade Soy Milk gives the creamiest mouthfeel and flavour. Make sure not to use a sweetened or flavoured milk!
If you prefer your mac and cheese on the saucy side, add an extra 1/2 cup of milk.
