Vegan Dinners Nothing is more heart and stomach warming than the all-American meal of Macaroni and Cheese. This recipe is quick and easy and freezes for quick meal planning.
Pre-Cooking Preparation
I used small macaroni thimbles for this Macaroni & Cheese. Ingredients Béchamel "White" Sauce Au Gratin-Topping Tools Preparation In another sauce pan, heat the soymilk to a simmer. Slowly whisk soymilk into the cooked flour mixture, constantly stirring. Add sea salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat. Begin adding 1/4 cup amounts of the grated cheeses while continuing to whisk. Once the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth, set the pan aside. Au Gratin Topping Add the olive oil and pulse again to distribute evenly throughout the bread crumbs. Slice 2 medium sized tomatoes into thin rounds. Pasta Stir the pasta often and test for doneness by tasting a piece. Cook macaroni pasta until it is 'al dente'... firm, but cooked through. Remember that pasta continues to cook AFTER you have drained it, so keep that in mind when testing for doneness... undercooked slightly is okay since this will be baked as a casserole. Drain the pasta.
Add the béchamel cheese sauce to the pasta and gently fold to coat each piece.
Pour the cheese coated pasta into a non-stick oil sprayed casserole dish or dishes. Au Gratin Topping Top the pasta with the au gratin bread topping.
Tomatoes Dress Up the Traditional Macaroni & Cheese Arrange the tomatoes over the top. Spray or brush the tomatoes with olive oil. Bake the Mac & Cheese at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Broil the Topping Before serving, broil the top under the broiler on a low shelf to prevent burning. Once the top is golden brown, remove and serve. Vegetable Side Dish Presentation This makes a great casserole to take to someone that's sick or to a potluck type meal. Try making 1 medium and two small casseroles... the smaller ones can be frozen and slowly reheated in the oven when needed. For an elegant informal dinner party, create individual casserole baking dishes. Then put them on a larger plate with the vegetables when serving guests. |
