This mac ‘n’ cheese is different from the rest, it’s cheesy and delicious but far lighter and healthier than most. So, you can indulge in peace, knowing that you will feel great after too. Not to mention, it takes just 15 minutes to make! The traditional dairy ingredients have been subbed for vegetable stock, plant-based milk and nutritional yeast which adds the most delicious cheesy flavour that can be challenging to recreate on a plant-based diet.

-
Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder and stir to combine

Spoon in the miso paste and squeeze the juice of one lemon into the pot

Carefully add in the vinegar (too much will overpower the flavours), then season with salt and pepper to taste

Close the Foodi, attaching the pressure lid and pressure cook for 5 minutes

Release the pressure by carefully opening the vent, and after the steam has settled remove the lid
-
Stir and add an extra splash of soy milk to loosen the pasta if needed
