The sauce for my Mac and Cheese is gluten-free. Take gluten-free noodles to eat a completely gluten-free dish. If you can not eat nuts, then you can just change the cashews here. I also like to take sesame seed or pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin seeds make the sauce of the vegan Mac and Cheese greenish. Please do not substitute by weight, but by volume. Like a handful of cashews and a handful of sesame seeds. Not 20g cashews and 20g sesame.
