How You’ll Make It
- In a high-speed blender, blend all cheese sauce ingredients until completely smooth.
In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the cheese sauce, soy milk, mozzarella shreds, and 1/4 of the cheddar-style shreds, one at a time and stirring until melted and creamy.
Cook the pasta until al dente, then fold it into the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for consistency. - Meanwhile, prepare the breadcrumb topping by mixing breadcrumbs with melted butter or olive oil, nutritional yeast, paprika, and a pinch of salt; toast in a pan for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.
- Transfer the mac and cheese to a small baking dish, top with the remaining cheeses and breadcrumbs, cover, and bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes.
