Vegan Mac 'n' Cheese

I have been shivering with excitement lately, due to finally getting my hands on nutritional yeast - An ingredient notorious for having an extremely authentic cheese flavour.  My first experiment with nutritional yeast came in the form of Mac 'n' Cheese, a dish I simply adored back in my dairy eating days.  The recipe for the 'cheese' sauce came from Apple's delightful dessert blog, although I did tweak it a little myself.  Let us first tackle the 'cheese' sauce, as that it where the biggest potential pitfalls lie...
Vegan 'Cheese' Sauce:-
1/4 cup margarine
1/3 all purpose flour
3 cups soy milk
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 Tsp tomato paste
2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder (I used fresh garlic)
1 Tsp lemon juice

I also personally added a pinch of...
Balsamic vinegar
Light soy sauce

For instructions on the steps you need to take, just follow Apple's post.  Aside from the cheese sauce, I added sun dried tomatoes, chickpeas and breadcrumbs on top.  With this being my first time experimenting with nutritional yeast, I was a little underwhelmed by its lack of authentic cheese flavour.  But nevertheless, it does make for an enjoyable sauce.  Make the sauce more watery than usually before putting it in the oven, as a lot of the moisture will be lost in the oven cooking time (this is a mistake I made).

Enjoy!
