Miso Mac n' Cheese (but no cheese?) | SNACKS Episode 3

This miso mac n' cheese recipe is everything to love about boxed mac n' cheese, but with zero cheese. This recipe is one of my favorites - it's so comforting, so easy and so quick, and you can totally make it dairy free. Plus you'll be SHOOK at how similar it tastes to Annie's - full recipe is below, and let me know what you think if you try it!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup milk of choice
4 tbsp unsalted butter or vegan butter
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
2-3 tbsp white miso paste
1 box (16 oz.) pasta shells
Furikake topping:
2 nori sheets
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1 tsp coconut sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix together the milk and stock in a pourable cup. You might not use it all, but it's good to have on hand.
- Put a dutch oven or deep skillet on medium-low heat. Melt the butter until melted but not sizzling. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes, making a light roux.
- Add the miso paste and whisk together. Cook for 2 minutes or until the roux is a light gold color.
- Gradually mix in the stock & milk, about 1/4 cup at a time. Stir constantly to maintain a creamy sauce.
- Once the sauce is done, bring a big pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, use your hands to crush the nori into small pieces on a baking sheet. Set the oven to 350F, add the sesame seeds, sugar and salt and roast for about 5 minutes or until the sesame seeds are lightly toasted.
- Once the pasta is cooked, scoop the pasta into the skillet with the sauce, stir to combine.
- Top with furikake and serve!

loved the french cooking lesson in the beginning hehe, can't wait to try this out! so much better than blending cashews . . .

[@justine_snacks]

I love my cashews but sometimes it’s just too much

[@mar1crix]

OMG! Justine! I love mac'n cheese and I love miso. You are one brilliant lady! I love what you have done here. Also I would have to say shells noodles are the best for mac’n cheese.

[@monisha.shah10]

[@justine_snacks]

Nooch is bae but I can’t wait for you to try this version :)

Oooooo I don't even have to go to the store because I have all these ingredients!! Making this ASAP.

[@justine_snacks]

[@theangryempanada4218]

Personally, i think the best mac n cheese pasta is cavatappi, but shells are definitely a close second

[@justine_snacks]

Ok I def need to get on the cavatappi train

[@norcalbelle]

I made your sourdough & it was so damn good I thought I’d try this recipe too - also delicious, super quick & I had everything in the house already. I used rotini, it was delicious. Next up, your black sesame banana bread!

[@risakim6910]

Please do a miso series!

[@nynkeflipse2006]

Heeyyy, what would you do to the kale to pair it with the pasta? Shortly fry it in a pan/put it in the oven/boil it? Thanks!

[@danicaleeclauser2885]

Team shells all the way

[@danielroselli2943]
