Recipe!

One addition I had to make to this was that I added 3 tablespoons of nooch. I could not have gone without it! It's amazing. I added a hint of sriracha while eating it as well. Would recommend!

It depends on what you're eating it with honestly. I don't think that most vegan cheeses are "good" either, but I find it easier for vegan cheeses to do their job with something like macaroni and cheese more than it is for them to do so with, say, a sandwich. Also, adding nutritional yeast really is the main game changer here. It adds an extra degree of more addictive "cheesy" flavor. It was most certainly very good for me either way.

Makes sense, would it be fair to say that a lot of these vegan alternative meals are usually greater than the sum of their parts? Like, I didn't like the vegan cheese on its own, but this dish (even if it isn't quite my expectation of mac & cheese) would hit a lot closer to what I might expect? I know tastes differ, so I'm not necessarily expecting an emphatic yes or no.

To me, it tastes pretty "cheesy" from the angle of someone who hasn't consumed actual dairy cheese in ages.

Agreed, put cheese out of your brain and just eat and you'll enjoy it. (5 y.o. vegan)
