Ingredients:
| Elbow Macaroni, or similar pasta | 2 1/2 cups | |
| Kara Coconut Cream, at room temperature | 200 ml | |
| Nutritional Yeast | 1/4 cup | |
| Tapioca flour | 2 Tbsp | |
| Corn flour | 1 Tbsp | |
| Paprika | 1/2 tsp | |
| Garlic powder | 1/4 tsp | |
| Onion powder | 1/4 tsp | |
| White pepper powder | 1/4 tsp | |
| Mild American Mustard | 1/2 tsp | |
| Light Soy sauce | 1/2 tsp | |
| Bay leaf | 1 | |
| Dried Chives | 1/2 tsp | |
| Freshly squeezed Lemon | 1/2 tsp | |
| Liquid Smoke (optional) | Few drops (3-4) | |
| Salt (to taste) | As needed |
Method:
- Cook the pasta to Al dente, following package instructions, adding sufficient salt to a large pot of boiled water, before adding the pasta. It should be cooked in 8-12 minutes. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid.
- Make the sauce. In a large saucepan, add Kara Coconut cream along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid. Use a whisk to combine and slowly bring to heat, on low.
- Add the nutritional yeast, tapioca flour, corn flour, onion, garlic and white pepper powders, paprika, mustard, and soy sauce. Stir everything and make sure there are no lumps.
- Add the bay leaf, and dried chives and stir again, Add salt only if needed… Remember the cooked pasta and the cooking liquid have salt.
- Simmer the sauce till thickened and then add more pasta liquid to adjust to your desired consistency. Stir though.
- Lastly, add lemon juice and (optional) liquid smoke.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce now, and toss well till nicely coated with the cheesy sauce.
- Serve hot!

Notes:
- Al dente means “to the tooth” in Italian. Most pasta packages provide cooking times for cooking al dente pasta. If not, just turn off the heat about two or three minutes before the prescribed cooking time.
- A good spoonful of salt is added while boiling the pasta, so the sauce requires little or no extra salt.
- Lemon juice is added to balance and bring together all the flavors. It is added last.
