The "Cashew e pepe" is really similar to how I've been making an alfredo-like sauce. The only differences is I just soak the cashews in the blender with some oat milk for 10 minutes, then blend it (probably needs to be a high speed one) with butter and some raw garlic. After that I add the seasonings and it's awesome so I'm sure yours is too!

Yeeaah. Cream and pepper. J Kenji Lopez. I veganized his biscuits and sausage gravy recipe cashew cream and beyond sausage and it was INSANE.

The cashew one still looks really good but I would probably add Turmeric for colour, and maybe even Dijon Mustard for both colour and taste.

I made this mac and cheese tonight with Violife aged cheddar and Silk Next Milk and it was so easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

I’ve made the mac & cheese twice in less than a week, so good! Thanks for sharing this method!

omggg the cacio e pepe looks so good!!

Both of these looked amazing! Thank you for sharing! 💗🙌

I'm making this Violife version over the weekend! (Adding a bit of mustard boosts cheesy flavor, if you haven't tried it.)

This is awesome! Thank you for this recipe. I’ve never liked Mac and cheese so I haven’t tried it for years but this looks worth a try.

I just made this recipe (and I’m currently chowing down on it). You were right, it is definitely a little dry, but I didn’t add any more sauce to it because I was lazy 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also had to add more spices, like you mentioned, but it still tasted a little bland so I had to add a ton of salt and a little garlic powder. I also couldn’t find the exact mushroom seasoning either, so I just got one that had some added stuff to it (such as some citrus, so I didn’t add any extra to the sauce) Also, the milk that I used was unsweetened almond and coconut, since I couldn’t find regular unsweetened, but I thought the coconut added a nice taste 👍🏻 This was such a fun and easy recipe !! (This is coming from a 15 year old 😁)

WOW. I have been making Mac & Cheese this way for several years. I just did it because I was to lazy to follow a recipe. So happy that others are making this way too!

I might go vegan just because of you 🤤

10/10… one of those recipes you almost wish you didn’t know because now it’s too easy to whip up and always have the ingredients 😅

Funnily enough I don't think I've made a single one of your burger recipes since I don't eat a lot of burgers but I've made almost every other recipe and they have all been amazing.

crazy how easy this was and how tasty it actually is omg its just as good as the rue recipie

These recipes look amazing. I can't wait to get my copy of your book!

These look easy and awesome would definitely try it!

you can always get whole peppercorns, toast them a little bit before adding the pasta and then grinding them. the pepper flavor should be stronger

Both recipes looked delicious 😋

This method rocks! 👍🏻 Made it yesterday and looking forward to the leftovers today. 😋

We love mac’n cheeze here, too, so we’ll definitely try both recipes. Thanks, TheeBurgerDude!👏🤩

Yum!

Looks super good thanks for sharing!

love this method for mac n cheese!

Leftover Mac & cheese...what is that? LOL. The recipes look easy & delicious- my favorite type! Thanks!

Terrific, TBD! 🤗

This is awesome!! So easy

This man ain't playing at all

I’m a month delayed seeing this video, but omg I’ve never seen vegan cacio e pepe! Definitely have to try this, looks phenomenal 😁

"Cashew e pepe", very clever.

Thank you!!👏👏👏

If you want a strong cheesy taste in your cashew sauce, try adding a bit of nattō (Japanese sticky fermented soybeans) !

This is pretty much how I make my vegan mac! Good to know I'm doing something right!

Love this technique! Frankie Calenza (from the KZfaq channel- Struggle Meals) does this technique and he calls it a Pasta Risotto (or Pasotto”)... I like doing everything in one pot sometimes! I ordered your cookbook the other day, I’m looking forward to it!!! I love trying new recipes all the time. 😉👍🏼 Thanks for all your hard work, your recipes are always great!

Holy Maccaroni... I like that :)

The first method, i actually do this! The difference is I use nutritional yeast and salt. I will probably add other seasonings shown from this video.

Omg both recipes look perfect & easy. I'm obsessed with Sweet Earth frozen cauliflower mac (I'm lazy) but I'm gonna make mac & gary soon. Gary is the word for vegan cheese, or else I might be insane. I don't remember where I got that idea.

I just made this rn and this is by far the best fucking mac and cheese -- vegan and non vegan -- that I have ever eaten. Thank you for this wonderful gift, Burger Dude. 😭

Yummy!

I like to add tomatoes or onions to mine.

I know this is an older video but I needed to comment. My non-vegan daughter and daughter in law ask me to make this for them. I always do. Happily. I also just made it with impossible meat and peas and they scarfed it down!

We need a vegan baked Mac n Cheese recipe

I made this last night and it was incredible!! I made the classic version. Super easy too. Definitely season it up a bit, I added garlic powder, pepper, salt, a dash of Cholula hot sauce and about a tsp of white Miso paste. Definitely a game changer and a keeper! Thank you!

Do you ever experiment with citric acid?

So creamy 🤩

Time to find violife! I've had it once with vegan grilled cheese and it melts and tastes sooo good. Looking forward to making that first recipe!

Gotta ask. How do they make vegan cheese?

First comment? Love your channel!

is violife any good?

Al dente*😘 dent“eh”

Too watery for me, I would do less milk

You should let the water boil before pouring the pasta
