Macaroni and cheese is an all American favorite, but lets face it, its not on the list as "good for you" type of food. Here is my take on a vegan mac and cheese that you wont leave you with guilt. The cheese is made with soaked cashews which gives this side dish creaminess and the yellow color comes for healthy ground turmeric. I used whole grain pasta filled with fiber but you can use your own choice of healthy pasta depending on your dietary needs.
