Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to the package instructions. The sauce will be made while the pasta cooks.
- In a large skillet on medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Once melted, add the gluten-free flour and whisk into a thick roux. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the dairy-free milk to the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high. Whisk constantly until it bubbles and thickens. This will take a few minutes.
- Turn the heat back down to medium and add any optional add-ins you choose. Stir for a few minutes until they cook down.
- Add the nutritional yeast and spices. Adjust the amount of spice to how you like it. Stir to evenly incorporate.
- When done cooking, drain and rinse the pasta and add it into the sauce skillet. Stir to coat the pasta and cook in the sauce for a minute or two. Plate and enjoy!
