Does anyone have a favorite vegan mac and cheese recipe to share? I've been searching for the perfect one!

Hey, I make mine almost the same way I did as a vegetarian, make a basic roux with vegan butter or olive oil with plain flour, combine over heat and stir til it makes a paste, cook it down a little then whisk in plant milk of choice, cook down further - very slowing adding a little more flour or milk as required for your preferred consistency. Then add a heap of nooch, some nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Ta-daa! Also you can add your fave plant cheese if you want it extra cheesy. I use this sauce for cauliflower or for pasta.2

I found one I've been wanting to try:
1/2 cup raw cashews or macadamias
1 medium peeled carrot, steamed or roasted
1/4 c nutritional yeast or cheese style shreds
1 tsp cider vinegar
optional 2 TBSP buttery spread or oil
1tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Basically soak the nuts overnight and blend everything in a blender or food processor. Then transfer to a pot on the stove to warm it (and melt in cheese style shreds if you desire), then add your pasta!
I've also found out that I LOVE Annie's Vegan Mac

I'm a little late to the vegan mac and cheese discussion but here is my recipe: boil 2 small white potatoes, 1 carrot, and half a small onion all quartered in 4 cups water until tender. Blend. That's your 'cheese' sauce. You can add unhealthy things to it to make it more like mac and cheese such as vegan margarine, salt, a handful of raw cashews for a creamy texture, nooch, and I love to add a squeeze of fresh lemon. It gives the flavor a sharp edge. If I'm making it for my family they like me to top it with canned french fried onions. 1/8th of the pan is 475 calories for the full fat, onion topped version.
Just make sure you bake it in a casserole dish until bubbly and if onion topped, browned.0 -

I love this one. You can make it spicy or not by how many seeds you add and roasted brussel sprouts are the best https://www.isachandra.com/2013/06/chipotle-mac-cheese-with-roasted-brussel-sprouts/0
