Here are 45 vegan mac and cheese recipes you should try today, including but not limited to the following. 1. Pumpkin Mac and Cheese Bake 2. Chili Mac and Cheese 3. “Lobster” Beer Mac and Cheese 4. Spinach Artichoke Mac and Cheese 5.

No matter if you are vegan or strive to eat plant-based, it is excellent to know how to make dairy-free food for those who are lactose intolerant like my sister, how to find gluten-free alternatives for celiacs like my BFF, and have meatless dishes for vegetarians like my sister-in-law. Lots of vegan dishes are gluten-free, and they are automatically vegetarian and dairy-free. If you have made some creative mac and cheese, let me know what flavor of mac and cheese you made in the comments. What other pastas do you like? Comment them below. I will write blog posts about vegan spaghetti and vegan lasagna.
