Teese Macaroni Dish with Shredded Brussel Sprouts
Teese shows its saucier side in this dish and is a very nice way to eat your brussel sprouts!
Equipment
- Blender
- 2Qt sauce pan or pot
- Stirring spoon or spatula
- 1.5Qt casserole dish or similar
Ingredients
- 2 C dry macaroni
- Two (2) 10oz containers of Teese Vegan Creamy Cheddar Sauce (approximately 2 cups)
- 1 C SHREDDED brussel sprouts (can be found at Trader Joe’s)
- 1 C UNSWEETENED unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk
- 1 C spinach
- 3 T organic unbleached wheat flour
- 1 T Polish Mustard (regular mustard will also work)
- 1 t salt (to taste)
- 1 t pepper
- 3 T nutritional yeast (optional, but great!)
- 3 T vegetable oil (optional)
- Vegan Ritz-style crackers, such as Golden Rounds from 365 Whole Foods Market
Instructions
We begin by preparing 2 cups of dry macaroni. Fully cook the pasta (DO NOT make it ‘al dente’).
SAUCE
While the macaroni is boiling, we mix the following in a blender until smooth:
- Teese Creamy Cheddar Sauce
- Unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk
- Wheat flour
- Mustard
- Salt & Pepper
- Optional - Nutritional yeast and/or vegetable oil
Blend this mixture until smooth. Put the sauce into a pot. Stir in the shredded brussel sprouts. Over medium-high heat, stir constantly until the sauce comes to a boil. Cook 2 minutes at a boil while stirring.
FINISHING MOVES
Remove the sauce from the heat and add the cooked and drained pasta (should be about 4 cups of cooked pasta). Stir it into the sauce completely. Finally, add the spinach (we held off on adding this so it won’t get too mushy).
Put the whole mixture into a 1.5Qt Casserole dish. Create a top layer of crushed vegan Golden Rounds crackers. I also put halved Golden Rounds around the top edge to form a border.
Put the whole thing under the broiler for 1 minute to toast the cracker topping (not much longer or it will burn).
Pull out of the oven and allow to cool a bit before serving.
