Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese

This is an easy recipe that can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or eaten right away.  Leftovers make a great lunch. 






Ingredients

5 Cups uncooked Macaroni

2 cups onions, chopped
2 cups peppers, chopped, red , green or orange, or a mix
4 cups spinach, chopped

Sauce

4  cups water
1/2 cup quick oats, uncooked
2 tsp vegetable broth powder, or to taste
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp prepared mustard, I used Sweet with Heat by Presidents Choice
1 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp paprika, for sprinkling only

Cook macaroni. Drain and set aside

Cook onions in as little water as possible until tender. Stir frequently.

Add in chopped pepper and cook until tender. Add in spinach and stir until wilted.

In blender add all ingredients for the sauce and process for about a minute until smooth.

Pour contents of blender into a pot and cook until hot and bubbly. Whisk frequently.

Mix sauce, cooked vegetables and pasta together.

Pasta can now be eaten or reheated later.

If reheating later:

Pour into a 9x13 inch pan, Sprinkle with paprika.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 35- 45 minutes until hot.

Enjoy!
