Preparation
- Boil macaroni according to package directions. While it boils, in a separate pan on medium-heat, saute onions with salt until translucent. Then, add in garlic and grated potato and stir together.
- Once the mixture is combined, add mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, chili flakes, and salt and stir.
- If pasta has cooked through, drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta water and cashews to the saute pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
- After the mixture simmers and has combined together, add to a blender with the nutritional yeast and apple cider vinegar.
- Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Once combined, season with salt and pepper to taste and add the sauce to the pasta. Stir to combine.
- Taste and season if needed.
- Serve warm.
