"I’m not vegan, but really enjoyed this cheese-free version of “mac and cheese” made with boiled vegetables and nuts. I’m convinced that anyone who tries this will be as enthusiastic as I was, whether you’re vegan or not. You could use any pasta for this recipe, but I’d recommend conchiglie rigate, which’ll cradle the creamy sauce perfectly."
