Vegan Green Mac and Cheese – creamy Broccoli Pasta
I am sharing my kid’s favorite noodle dish: vegan green mac and cheese! Creamy, green and delicious, but also a great way to get some extra veggies into kids’ diets!
This vegan pasta dish will soon become a popular request in your home. Plus, it’s super easy to make.
My three kids and I have been loving a plant-based mac and cheese made with boiled carrots and potatoes. I saw a green mac and cheese on TV the other day and decided to create a similar version but plant-based with boiled potatoes and broccoli. It is cheesy with the nutritional yeast. A perfect midweek dinner!
