I FOUND IT. A DELICIOUS CHEEZY SAUCE.. Easy and delicious. So GOOD!

[Guest guest]

Cheesy Sauce for Macaroni (Vegetables, Baked Potatoes or Soup)

 

4 oz. pimentos (1 large jar, drain and pour entire jar in blender)

1/4 C raw cashews

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp onion powder

3 heaping T nutritional yeast flakes

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp mustard powder

2 T arrowroot powder or 1 T corn starch

1 T lemon juice

2 C unsweetened plant-based milk (soy, rice, hemp)Modifications: If you like you can add the following. I put in a carrot for deeper orange color, or you could use some cooked butternut squash for the same effect, plus makes it all the more nutrient dense. To kick it up a notch I also added some paprika to taste.

 

In a blender, add all ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour into saucepan, on medium-low heat and stir until thick. (Heat until almost boiling). Pour cheese sauce on top of pasta, then bake it for a delicious mac n cheeze, potatoes or use as a soup base with veg. broth and added broccoli for broccoli-cheese soup.

Hi,

 

prepared (tripled, actually) a similar recipe from this mcdougall thread for the big christmas gathering! it was fantastic, and everyone raved. thrilled to have leftovers to spoon over spuds or rice this week. added a bit extra cornstarch so we could add a can of rotelle!

 

did tell everyone it was pimentos and cashews... blending for 2 minutes or more is really important!http://www.drmcdougall.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5 & t=14464

Not to diss the poster, but the above recipe seems to be a riff on Stepaniak's

work in " The UnCheese Cookbook. " Aside from one recipe in Burke's book (if

memory serves), she appeared to be the first (at least from my research the past

decade) to use pimentos and nutritional cheese in her cheese sauces. In the

above case, she used agar-agar to get a " firmer " block cheese texture.

 

Again, not a criticism, it's become common to see such variations on the Web.

 

This is just an FYI... Mark
