  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

To Make the Vegan Mac and Cheese

  • Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, combine the plant milk and 3 tablespoon mac and cheese powder in a medium saucepan and place over medium/low heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens dramatically and resembles a cheese sauce.
