Parmesan cheese adds flavor but is not vegan.

olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly cooking oil.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture for topping.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Cook your pasta following the package instructions until it's perfectly al dente. Once cooked, drain, rinse, and set it aside.

In a saucepan, combine plant-based milk, cassava flour, corn starch, turmeric, garlic powder, and salt.

Stir the mixture with a whisk, ensuring it's well combined. Continue whisking for a few minutes after it comes to a boil until it thickens beautifully.

Incorporate the drained pasta into the sauce, stirring thoroughly to coat every pasta piece.

Transfer this creamy mac and cheese into a lightly greased casserole dish.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.

Bake your creation at 350°F for approximately 20 min, or until it starts to bubble and the breadcrumbs turn a delightful shade of golden brown.
