US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Boil the pasta. (Save the pasta water)
  • For the vegan cheese sauce: Heat the butter in a small pot on medium-high heat.
  • Add the salt, paprika powder, and curry powder. Whisk.
  • Once the butter is completely melted, add in the flour and whisk again.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add nutritional yeast, whisk again until clumpy.
  • Add the pasta water (little by little until creamy, I used 1 1/2 cups) and whisk on low heat for a few minutes. If it gets too thick you can add a little bit more water and whisk again.
  • Pour the vegan cheese sauce over the drained pasta. Give it a good mix and serve!
