Janky Mac and Cheeze Sauce with Chickpea Cutlets.

Basically this is my version of Vegan Mac and Cheeze. I made a liquidy sauce by blending nutritional yeast, veggie broth, garlic, earth balance, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. I heated up the blended up goop and added cornstarch to thicken. The sauce thickened slightly, and then i poured the whole thing over the noodles and veggie mixture. I then added pieces of chreeze to the top, as well as some earth balance, and baked it up. It was so good, but not cheezy, just saucy and goopy, kind of like an alfredo sauce, only cheddar. For the veggies, i sauteed up some leeks, carrots and broccoli until tender and crisp.
I also made the chickpea cutlet recipe from VCON, but i think my needed a bit longer in the oven. They still turned out toothy and delicious, just a tad mushy in the insides.
I did get those important gluten strands to form though which made them chewy and amazing. This was a good and filling meal with left overs to spare. It was also really inexpensive and easy to make. It was fun to make my own cheeze sauce for the noodles and veggies, but next time I might just stick to VCON's Cheeze sauce. Its so good!
