Vegan Buffalo "Chicken" Mac n "Cheese"

Yea, we get it. There's a lot of quotations in the title. That's because as a Vegan, you've got to deal with a lot of fake shit, but honestly that's a metaphor for life isn't it? 

Despite all the fake stuff..... this recipe is pretty delicious. It's creamy, and really feels substantial as a protein-packed meal to really fill you up and generate those gains. 

It's also DELICIOUS. Did we mention that? All too often we read vegan Mac n cheese recipes that look so hopeful, but end up tasting utterly bland. 

Do you trust me? Take my hand...... let us make a Vegan Mac n Cheese that doesnt taste like nothing. 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups dry pasta
• 3 tbsp. olive oil or vegan butter
• 3 tbsp. all purpose flour (gluten free flour to make gluten free)

• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tbsp. dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp. vegan cream cheese
• 1/4 block shredded cheddar cheese (or 1/2 cup pre-shredded cheese) We recommend Daiya for this recipe
• 2 tbsp. vegan buffalo sauce (+ 1 tbsp. for the chick'n)
• 1/2 cup pulled chick'n or vegan pork (you can substitute firm buffalo-seasoned tofu here if you'd like, but emphasis on the FIRM SEASONED!)

DIRECTIONS

• Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan.

STEP 3
