Why I Love This Vegan Mac And Cheese
Unlike other vegan mac and cheese, my recipe includes optional superfoods from Your Super! While these mixes are optional, they do add a boost of protein and flavor. It's hard to find a mac & cheese that has almost 22 grams of protein without added meat. When I tried this recipe, I immediately fell in love, the taste was creamy, and I didn't miss the cheese or the lethargy after eating!
I've posted Your Super recipes before, and I will continue to include recipes that utilize their mixes. The benefits of their products coupled with the minimal ingredients keep me buying their products. My goal is to use the mixes in as many foods as possible (not just smoothies!). Not to mention, the color of this pasta comes from real ingredients, no yellow dyes here!
In addition to the sweet potato, paprika, golden mellow, and nutritional yeast all contribute to the orange color of the cheese sauce. If you find the sauce to be a little too sweet, you can add a little pinch of cayenne pepper to balance out the sweetness.

What Pasta Is Best For Vegan Mac And Cheese?
When choosing pasta for this recipe, I recommend either elbows, spirals, or a fun shape! You want something that the sauce will stick to. Pasta like spaghetti or lasagna wouldn't hold the cheese sauce, so I would stay away from those. As long as the pasta has some shape to it, it should work!
If you want to sneak in more veggies I would look for a colorful pasta that is colored from spinach or tomatoes. This is a great way to increase the nutritional value of this recipe without changing the taste.
If you find yourself with extra pasta in the box, you can always cook it up with a red pasta sauce, I have a simple and easy recipe on my blog here.
