Vegan Bites: Mac 'N Cheese (2 ways)

 

Incredibly easy, delish and nutritious, Nora Cooks recipe for Mac 'N Cheese 

The only tinkering we mustered up was to double the sauce as it was incredibly dry. We also made our own breadcrumbs by toasting bread and whizzing in the blender before smothering in butter, salt and pepper. A few sprigs of fresh thyme and a beautiful meal!
