Vegan Mac(ro) and Cheese Recipe

A healthy take on the traditional mac 'n cheese.  This dish is super healthy and chock full of goodness!  And it tastes AMAZING.

Ingredients:
1/2 Head Cauliflower
1 Cup Shiitake Mushrooms
1 Package Cheddar Style Daiya Vegan Cheese
1 Box Quinoa Pasta (or any grain pasta)
Rice Milk


Directions:
Always clean your veggies before cooking.  First, bring a pot of water to a boil.  Take the stems off the mushrooms and slice the caps into strips.  Cut the cauliflower in half, and chop that half into chunky pieces.  Once the water is boiling, add a couple pinches of sea salt and the cauliflower.  Cover the pot and boil for approximately 5 minutes.  Add the box of pasta and the shiitake mushrooms and boil for approximately 8 minutes (or however long your pasta needs to cook).  Drain and return empty pot to stove.  Put 1 Cup of rice milk in the pot and turn the stove on low.  Add 1/2 bag of cheddar Daiya and stir until the Daiya melts and becomes creamy.  Add black pepper and minced onion to taste.  Pour the cauliflower, mushroom, pasta mixture back into the pot and mix evenly.  Serve this deliciousness immediately!
