Baked Mac and Trees


One of my favorite types of meals would have to be a nice whole wheat pasta, veggies, and a decadent cheesy sauce.  When you think vegan food sometimes the last thing you would associate would be cheesy.  This dish is surprisingly simple.

INGREDIENTS
whole wheat penne
chopped broccoli
sliced pea pods
cheese sauce (will be featured in an upcoming post)

PROCESS
Bring ample amount of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to directions and preheat your oven to 350 F.  Around 9 minutes taste your pasta which should be al dente and add your chopped veggies right into the boiling water. While water is coming to a boil and cooking prepare cheese sauce.  When pasta is done drain pasta and veggies then add cheese sauce and mix in pot.  Pack into ramekins and top with vegan parmesan or bread crumbs (optional I just added fresh black pepper.)  Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until pasta and cheese forms a slight crust.  Enjoy with a side salad of baby greens.
