I made this - with a few changes of course 🙂OMG OMG! Used chickpeas, silken tofu, green olive brine, red pepper paste, lemon juice and nooch. Even my non-vegan grandchildren loved it!
I had tried chickpeas in the past, but I've found butter beans (dried lima beans) are better texture and flavor and no straining needed. I just use soy milk in mine, so not as much fat, but I've also added a little cashew butter. After watching your channel, I do have vegan lactic acid and it's really a game changer for cheeze sauce. 💜 A little something I make now, too, smoked tofu cheeze spread and sauce. 😋🤤
The fart-related commentary made me burst out laughing. The cool thing is the more you eat this way the more your system can break down all the goodness without producing too much gaseous waste. Your channel is one of my favourites. *high-fives*
Yes, after more than 11 years of being vegan, I don't have problems with gas at all anymore. I did have a period around 2019 where I got back into the "musical fruit" realm, which was after I had my appendix removed and had to take antibiotics. That messed up my gut microbiome for a while I guess, but by now it's all good once more.
I'm a vegetarian and I love cheese, but it's really cool to see how quickly some vegan cheese could be whipped up. I might try this just because it would be a nice healthy way to indulge if the taste is anywhere near a real cheese.
I'm glad you said that to Monica bc I was over here like "you made mac and hummus" 😂 Also, I thought I was so weird for liking tomatoes in my mac! It's so good if you add a can of Rotel!
Please please type the recipe somewhere, it is not on the website page or the video description, and you don't have graphics with the ingredients & quantities. I've wanted to make this recipe since this video came out, but I have a hard time hearing everything properly. I love the types of food you make, but it makes it so hard when I can't read a recipe anywhere.. Thank you so much for all your hard work
great. also if anyone is worried about gas from chickpeas, it does seem to make a huge difference if you peel them. it takes a little work to peel them but it can actually be fun to do, and really only takes a few minutes. its not a case of peeling one by one but putting both hands, all digits in there and some water to roll the peas around and let the skin easily slip off and float to the surface. you need to keep tossing and thumbing the peas for a while til youve got all/most of the skins off but if youre worried about gas, trust me, its worth it, and its actually quite a fun sensation if you arent rushing.
I was going to suggest miso paste as well but I personally prefer the stronger red miso flavor. It gives a great depth of flavor to cheese sauce and it's wonderful in any soup
Finally made this! Came out so good. I did the first one, but I also added sweet potato. I kinda did it for color, but also because I made it before from a kid's recipe. My meat & potatoes husband loved it! He had low expectations, but this blew him away☺️ Thanks for the food magic!
What a fabulous recipe and brilliant idea! I made a couple modifications to the first recipe. Just browned some garlic cloves in olive oil, and then added them to the blender with the chickpeas, lemon, milk, salt, pepper, and then added some nooch. Thank you for this video, you guys rock! I'm in heaven with my healthy mac and cheese.
I do something like this but add the following for improvements: Hummus or blended pail beans. Cashew butter for creaminess. Soy milk to correct consistancy. Nutritional yeast. Pail or apple cider vinegar/ sauerkraut juice for the sharpness and acidity of cheese. Tahini for the nuttiness of cheese. Onion powder r fresh onion for the sweetness and stock flavour. Stock cube for umami. Cook carrots in the water with the pasta to increase the nice sweetness.
I need to try this and compare it to Daiya. I actually bought a box so next time I make regular mac & cheese for my husband and son (who aren't vegan), I wouldn't feel left out, lol. But this sounds delicious, especially the tofu version. And two thumbs up for adding the sun dried tomatoes. I love adding them to any pasta dish.
This is definitely going to be different than Daiya! But for that white Mac and cheese type of texture and taste this nails it!! The tofu version is my favorite!! Hope you enjoy
@@emartin851My husband complained once and said my daiya smelled stinky. I said go smell your dairy cheese. He couldn't believe his smelled even stronger lol. Once in a while I use Daiya for both of us. He really can't tell the difference except the melting factor. He just feels bad using mine because it's so expensive & I don't have the luxury of being able to use both. I have been dairy free 18 yrs. due to it making my autoimmune disease act up & causing severe intestines problems very similar to Chron's. Can't have gluten or eggs either. I honestly feel fine without any of it but miss the unfertile eggs from time to time. It does make me feel better not contributing to those industries though so no pain for anyone. Win win!
Looks great. I’m a huge chick pea lover, anytime I can add it I do, especial rice dishes, it works so well together. We did not grow up with Mac and Cheese dishes. Honestly I have no idea why it wasn’t a dish in our home. I rarely make M&C….I going to give this a try though because of the chick peas. Thanks ❤
It could be a spread for a sandwich - it could be used for potato au gratin it can be used for a casserole with mushrooms - it can be used as a layer in lasagna.. etc etc etc.. nice work
I love watching your videos! I love to explore making simple food that doesn't have to involve any animal protein - although I'm not a vegan. I improvise a lot after watching people like you show how it is done. You make is so simple! And it is- Chickpeas is probably the most versatile and most addictive thing I've eaten.
I checked the recipe on the website and I couldn't find one so here's what I did: Chickpeas 1 can Tofu silken 1 container 2 T aquafaba 1 T olive oil ⅓+ C Nutritional yeast (I didn't keep track of how much it but it was a LOT) 1 T Garlic powder 5 T Kalamala olive brine (rough estimate since I didn't use a real tablespoon) 1.25 T pink salt My mom and I made a big plate of mac and cheese for each of us and had around half or more of the sauce left over. We plan to make cheesy potatoes, quesadillas, nachoes, more mac and cheese, and to add it to our plant based burgers in the next few weeks. If anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to list 😊
omg that looks so good. I miss chickpeas soo much. I wonder how this would do with my high protein chickpea tofu (would not have the benefit of ease and convenience of just popping open a can of chickpeas though) 🤷♀
This is such a great video! The sauce is awesome! I used to put hummus on my salads and pasta a lot. It was my favorite salad dressing for a long time😂😂😋 I love the shot of Monica in the office and you walking away with the camera!! More Dog, please 🤣💗💗💗💗
I often do very similar -- tofu + a can of beans (any)-- but I add a jar of salsa. It makes a protein-packed dip, but you can easily make it a sauce! The salsa adds enough flavor that you really dont need to add anything else, though I sometimes add nutritional yeast because I'm addicted to it. If I'm feeling lazy, blended tofu/beans can also be added to a jar of pasta sauce to make it extra creamy. Another great video! You really do a good job highlighting chickpeas, but I'm just gonna throw this out there -- lima/butter and great northern beans are really underrated. If youre not caring about color, black beans are good, too. Just dont forget the other beans! 😜
This looks so so super delicious. I am going to make it for my man on the weekend. Just one little suggestion. The coconut brand you are using was recently exposed for exploiting monkey slave on their farms. Please look it up. I don't know if you can get the brand Ayam where you live, but the quality is outstanding and they are Peta approved to not use monkeys.
Good recipes, but it bears repeating that most Americans, including the vegetarians, eat MORE protein than they need. What we all need to eat more of is veg, not protein.
What kind of tofu is that? Cant quite make it out on my phone. Is it just normal firm? Ive been using silken tofu and a stick blender plus seasoning for my creamy sauces. Either balsamic vinager for the more pasta base sauces, or lemon juice for sauces i use with burritos etc. Super quick and easy amd just requires a cheap stick blender and a mixing bowl. Cant wait to try this chickpea version though
Lately my favorite thing is to take dried chickpeas and soak them overnight then cook in the instant pot and freeze them for adding to recipes like curries, salads or ramen noodles. It would be cool to see a recipe for chickpeas that start with dried instead of canned.
It’s so much more affordable buying dry beans, but like this other person said, just measure them out. A heaped half-cup of dried beans should get you the equivalent of a can when cooked! =D
I'm adding loads more of nutritional yeast to mine :D Also mustard fits well. Also Garlic + Onion together, a small fresh piece in the size of a finger tip also works well I love the tofu chickpea combo tho, have to try it!
Mmm. Yeah, found some black mustard seed that I put in my third grinder, the fresh mustard tastes so good. I made hash brown potatoes the other day with onions, salt, pepper and a little garlic and the kids were like, did you forget the mustard?
I had tried a variation on this some time ago. Nutritional Yeast was involved. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it! There's that pleasant stodginess that is so comfortating about about mac n cheese. It's not Kraft dinner, which is fine. That a very specific craving. It's also not Adam Ragusea's really cool sodium citrate hack. But this hits the spot.
Yeah I bet it would!! Both of them would bake pretty good, but Im guessing the coconut milk one might do better, just start with more coconut milk is my best guess!
OMG! I can’t eat the chick pea pasta (bloat City) but I love hummus! I’m 100% going to make the chickpea & tofu cheese and pour it over a bowl of steamed broccoli 🥦 😋
All respect, and I love chickpeas, but that first recipe is just pasta in hummus, lol. I've had variations of the second recipe, and they are quite good. Love your experimentation, though when it comes to mac sauce my favorite remains a sweet potato/cashew sauce.
Thanks, but hummus doesn’t contain coconut milk and traditional there is tahini in it! I jokingly called it hummus to Monica because I knew I would get these comments. But it’s no where close to hummus and is a pretty dang good Mac and cheese substitute! Plenty of people have already tried it and liked it
I always feel like the turmeric flavor comes through when I add it for color. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, or I've got a particularly flavorful batch of turmeric from my Indian grocery store. However another option is annatto seeds, which they use for cheese and chorizo making to add a yellow orange color. You might find it at a fancy grocery, or at a Mexican grocery, possibly also called achiote. A little bit ground finely should add some nice color
@@SeanTheJ0K3R you could infuse the oil with the anato seeds. Just heat the oil with the seeds (toss the seeds after oil has changed color) it gives it a nice color. It's also nice for making yellow rice.
I love vegan mac n cheese can eat way too much of it, I just made one last night similar to this, I used chickpeas blended with aquafaba, coconut milk and soaked cashews, I also added loads of broccoli peas carrots potatoes and mushrooms to make it healthy and loads of vegan cheese to make it unhealthy lol, great to see you looking so slim mate proud of you
I made this - with a few changes of course 🙂OMG OMG! Used chickpeas, silken tofu, green olive brine, red pepper paste, lemon juice and nooch. Even my non-vegan grandchildren loved it!
Yum- love the silken tofu fluff factor
YUM!
Sounds amazing!

So I use this sauce with shells and it’s my daughters favorite now thank you
Thats awesome!!!! Im so glad she loves it!!
I like rice wine vinegar for cheese sauces and mustard really adds to the cheesy flavor ❤
Do you mean mustard powder or like Frenches?
The fart-related commentary made me burst out laughing. The cool thing is the more you eat this way the more your system can break down all the goodness without producing too much gaseous waste. Your channel is one of my favourites. *high-fives*
Thank you soooo much!! I really appreciate it....
P.s it wasnt that gaseous of a night as I thought it was going to be hahaha
Adequate hydration also helps😂
yeah totally I can eat 3 cans of beans in a day with no issues
That was my experience with Om Master Blend 😅
Yes, after more than 11 years of being vegan, I don't have problems with gas at all anymore. I did have a period around 2019 where I got back into the "musical fruit" realm, which was after I had my appendix removed and had to take antibiotics.

Also, I thought I was so weird for liking tomatoes in my mac! It's so good if you add a can of Rotel!
Hahahhaa thank you! I mean it was good!!!
Not weird! Let it rain tomatoes (as long as they land in my mouth)😂🤤
Please please type the recipe somewhere, it is not on the website page or the video description, and you don't have graphics with the ingredients & quantities.
I've wanted to make this recipe since this video came out, but I have a hard time hearing everything properly.
I love the types of food you make, but it makes it so hard when I can't read a recipe anywhere.. Thank you so much for all your hard work
Somehow, saying it's hummus broke my brain in a good way. Can't wait to try this during the weekend!
hahaha right? I mean it's not hummus, but it is... it just works
great. also if anyone is worried about gas from chickpeas, it does seem to make a huge difference if you peel them. it takes a little work to peel them but it can actually be fun to do, and really only takes a few minutes. its not a case of peeling one by one but putting both hands, all digits in there and some water to roll the peas around and let the skin easily slip off and float to the surface. you need to keep tossing and thumbing the peas for a while til youve got all/most of the skins off but if youre worried about gas, trust me, its worth it, and its actually quite a fun sensation if you arent rushing.
Recipe please? Can only find video on your website (not the recipe). BTW love the Lomi. We’ve had ours for over a year. Game changing!
Will be trying this this weekend and congrats on the weight loss - well done!
Thank you sooo much!!!
Please post about your experience. Would love to hear your response.
Love it when Monica reviews your food.
Walnuts make great Mac and cheese. You can also use just nutritional yeast. I’m gonna try this with cannelini beans.
I wonder if adding some white miso to it would be too much or be my ticket to flavourtown.
yess! that's what I was thinking too
I was going to suggest miso paste as well but I personally prefer the stronger red miso flavor. It gives a great depth of flavor to cheese sauce and it's wonderful in any soup
These One Can videos are truly incredible! Every one I watch gets added to my "must make it" list!
Finally made this! Came out so good. I did the first one, but I also added sweet potato. I kinda did it for color, but also because I made it before from a kid's recipe. My meat & potatoes husband loved it! He had low expectations, but this blew him away☺️ Thanks for the food magic!
I feel like this is simple enough for me to make, so I’m super stoked to try it!
You can do it! hahah hope you enjoy!!
I'm so trying it this weekend.
Yes!!! You’re going to love it
What a fabulous recipe and brilliant idea! I made a couple modifications to the first recipe.

And I just so happen to have lactic acid on hand from the last time you convinced me to buy it!! Making this tonight!
YES!!! You're going to love it!!!
Yumm i've been craving creamy pasta I'm going to make this for lunch tomorrow!
You’re going to love it!!
Thank you. I did the one with the tofu. Recently had to give up all dairy not vegan but this really was amazing

Omg you look so good!!!!! I probably haven't watched in 10 months and suddenly you look so healthy and energetic!!!! 😊
Thank you!!! Thank you so much!!
@@SauceStache you're welcome! Keep up the amazing work, and sorry I think I accidentally removed your heart when I fixed my sentence!
Facts
Chickpeas are just amazing little bubbles of wonder 💚 I also put little crispy fried 'bacon' bits that I make from seitan starch on the top!
It could be a spread for a sandwich - it could be used for potato au gratin it can be used for a casserole with mushrooms - it can be used as a layer in lasagna.. etc etc etc.. nice work
I love how positive you are!
wow, just made this and it was a hit with the kids. Thank you so much

Would this work to pour over broccoli?
Pour it over anything
Made the 2nd one for dinner the other night. Everyone loved it!
I really want to try this! Thanks.
Thank you! My ldl was so high I had to give up cheese. This recipe will sure help. We all need some comfort food!!! Just subscribed
I checked the recipe on the website and I couldn't find one so here's what I did:
Chickpeas 1 can
Tofu silken 1 container
2 T aquafaba

⅓+ C Nutritional yeast (I didn't keep track of how much it but it was a LOT)
1 T Garlic powder
5 T Kalamala olive brine (rough estimate since I didn't use a real tablespoon)

I made this for my baby, who has a dairy allergy, and he loved it! Subbed in cashew cream
Great healthy recipe! Thank you!!
I do similar with canelini beans for a carbonara. I add a bit of black salt for the eggy flavor.
Turned out great! I used a bit of cayenne and cumin . . .yum!
Couldn't find your recipe on your website. I hope you post it soon!
Wow you’re looking a lot better my friend I’m very happy for your progress
The second recipe is the best ever. Thanks for sharing 😊
What measurements did you use on the lactic acid and garlic powder for the 2nd version?
How much nutch, lactic acid and garlic powder or if I end up using lemon juice, how much juice?
Love this idea! 🎉
Really loved the vibe of this video today. I watch religiously. Thanks again!
Oooooooh, I have all these things in my cupboard already and I'm really into non-dairy cooking and baking!!!

Activated Charcoal helps with the Bean/GI tract issues.
ohhhh true!!! Good tip!
Try the brine from the peppercinis for flavor. Mmmmm
I'm making mine now! Thanks so much for sharing ❤
I'm adding loads more of nutritional yeast to mine :D
Also mustard fits well. Also Garlic + Onion together, a small fresh piece in the size of a finger tip also works well

Hummus pasta is one of my staples!
Wonderful recipes! Great for those with nut allergies too
I making this right now!
❤❤ thanks for your ideas and lessons learned 🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕
Since coconut milk and palm oil are two of the unhealthiest plant-based items, could I substitute soy milk in the recipe?
Where do you get lactic acid? My local health store Sprouts Market does not carry this powder.
I can't wait to try this sometime
Looks so yummy!! 🤤🤤
Thank you 😋
Could this sauce also be used to make scalloped potatoes.
I was just thinking that. I bet it would!
Can't wait to try this!
I am going to make this ASAP!!
There is a cheese flavor powder that I have. I don't know if it is vegan (I believe it is). You cann add it to your mixture to add more cheese flavor
That would be awesome!
Do you think theyll bake up nicely for baked mac and cheese?
Yeah I bet it would!! Both of them would bake pretty good, but Im guessing the coconut milk one might do better, just start with more coconut milk is my best guess!
