Vegan MoFo Day 6: mac and chicks

mac and chicks

The truth said, I was never a big fan of mac and cheese. Not even in my pre vegan days. But I do love this recipe. Cause this cheesy sauce is made with chickpeas. And my all time favorite thing to eat is chickpeas. This sauce is creamy, cheezy and absolutely delicious. I usually serve it over baked potatoes but it seems it works great over pasta as well.

Blend all ingredients in a food processor. Add to a pot with cooked (and drained) pasta. Mix, serve and garnish with fresh ground black pepper. Enjoy!

Summer avocado pesto

This is one of my favorite summer recipes.  It’s ridiculously easy,  flavorful, lemony and creamy. I usually enjoy it with a slice of crispy garlic bread on the side and a glass of cold white wine.
