As the temperature drops, I’m craving ALL the comfort food. I’m especially dreaming of mac and cheese lately. I used Ripple pea milk and sweet potato to create a thick and creamy “cheese” sauce. This recipe is totally gluten-free and dairy-free! It’s perfect comfort food for those cold winter nights. Enjoy!
DAIRY FREE MAC AND “CHEESE” WITH BROCCOLI
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
1 cup boiled sweet potato (mashed)

1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 box gluten-free pasta (I use chickpea pasta)
4 cups broccoli
INSTRUCTIONS
- After boiled sweet potato has cooled, add sweet potato, pea milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil and spices to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend approximately 1 minute or until sauce is created.
