In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add in 1 tablespoons of oil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until about half way cooked. Stir occasionally.

• Add in the onions and cook for 3 minutes more.
• Add the garlic, bell pepper, vegan sausage, and old bay, and continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 16 ounces dried elbow macaroni , gluten-free or regular
• 1 cup potato , peeled & chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup carrots , chopped
• 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 3/4 cup vegetable broth , low sodium
• 3/4 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt , more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast , more if preferred
• 2 1/2 tablespoons tapioca flour/starch *See note
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice , more to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 2 cloves garlic , minced

Instructions

• Boil the cashews, potatoes, and carrots until tender (about 8-10 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
  
• Place macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente and according to package directions (about 9-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  
• Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender (except garlic & butter). Blend until potatoes, carrots & cashews have completely broken down and sauce is smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
  
• Heat up butter in a large pan over medium heat. When melted, add garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds, until lightly golden and fragrant (be careful not to burn).
  
• Pour in the cheese sauce and cook for 4-6 minutes until sauce thickens up and becomes slightly stretchy. Stir often to prevent burning. If it's too thick, add a splash of broth. Taste for seasoning and add more if needed.
  
• Now add pasta and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

• I usually start blending the sauce 5 minutes before the pasta will be done. This way the pasta isn't sitting too long, and it will be hot & fresh when it goes into the sauce.
• To make it easier, cook potatoes, cashews and carrots the night before and pop them in the fridge.
• If you'd like a thinner cheese sauce, use only 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch, or omit it altogether. The sauce will still be rich and creamy. Tapioca starch provides extra thickness and a slight "cheesy" stretch. 
• The cheese has a very smooth and creamy texture. So, if it comes out a bit grainy, you may need to blend longer. If it's still grainy, your blender may not be strong enough to pulverize the cashews completely smooth.
• If you'd like to add another layer of flavor to the sauce, you can try ½-1 teaspoon of miso paste, apple cider vinegar or dijon mustard. Blend it up with the cheese sauce.
