Notes
- Does not store well! The vegan cheese sauce soaks into the noodles when stored. This recipe is best served right away. If you have to store it, keep the sauce seperate and reheat independently from the noodles.
- Freezing: Yes, the sauce can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
