Featuring: LesserEvil Interstellar Cheddar Space Balls
Yield: 30-40 bites
Time: ~30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 box gluten free elbow noodles
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- ½ white onion, diced
- 1 small yellow potato, cubed
- ⅔ cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup LesserEvil Interstellar Cheddar Space Balls
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp water
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and spray a mini muffin baking pan with avocado oil or olive oil.
- Cook pasta of choice according to the box instructions.
- In a pot over medium heat, sauté onion, potato, cashews and water for 5 minutes or until starting to become soft.
- Once soft, add the onion, potato, cashew and water mixture to a blender or food processor with the garlic, mustard, LesserEvil Cheddar Space Balls, paprika, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Blend until completely smooth.
- Add the pasta and “cheese” sauce together in a bowl and gently mix until the noodles are evenly covered.
- In a small bowl, mix together water and tapioca starch to make a thickening agent. Pour this into the pasta and stir immediately to evenly disperse the agent.
- Add a small spoonful of Mac and “cheese” to each greased muffin spot on the pan (you will not need a liner, just ensure you grease the pan well). Be sure to pack the noodles in and press down on each one using your hands or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the bites for 15 minutes.
- Once finished baking, allow them to cool as they may fall apart if they’re removed from the pan when they’re too warm.
- Once slightly cooled, remove them from the pan and enjoy immediately for the best tasting bites!
