PRE-PREPARATION:

2. Chop the onion, garlic and celery stalk. Peel and slice the carrots with a knife, peeler or mandoline (optional).
3. Separate other ingredients and utensils from the recipe.
4. Bring a pot of water to a boil to cook the pasta.
PREPARATION:
Vegan Mac and Cheese Dip:
1. Heat the oil in a pan where you can add the cooked pasta.
2. Fry the onion, carrot and celery for a few minutes over low heat until the onion is transparent and the carrot is soft but still crunchy (estimated time 5 minutes).
3. Season with a pinch of salt.
4. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
5. Put out the fire.
6. Put water (see ingredients) at room temperature in a blender or food processor and add to the stew.
7. Add tomato paste, nutritional yeast (optional), cornstarch, and soaked and drained sunflower seeds.
8. Beat until smooth and creamy – this can take up to 5 minutes – pause every minute if your blender doesn’t have much power.
9. Return the sauce to the pan.
10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 15 minutes.
11. At the same time, cook the pasta.
Vegan pasta with mac and cheese:
