Baked Cashew Mac & Cheese

• 90 g macaroni
• 50 g raw cashews, soaked 15 minutes in hot water
• 10 g nutritional yeast
• 0.5 tsp Dijon mustard
• 125 ml unsweetened oat milk
• 15 g panko breadcrumbs

Directions

1. 1Boil the macaroni in salted water for 7 minutes — one minute under the packet time, since it finishes in the 200°C oven — then drain.
2. 2Blend the drained cashews with the oat milk, nutritional yeast, mustard and 1 tsp salt for 60 seconds, until completely smooth.
3. 3Stir the sauce through the pasta, tip into a baking dish and scatter the panko over the top.
4. 4Bake at 200°C (180°C fan) for 18 minutes, until the top is golden and the sauce bubbles at the edges.
