I just made this dish with zucchini "noodles" and it is goooood. I added a tiny bit of garlic to the mix to offset the sweetness of the cashews and make it a little more comfort-foodish. I must to admit I am a bit of a cheater who only flirts with raw foods and I did slightly heat the meal in a saucepan.

Hi!! So i've been craving mac n cheese and i'm trying to get back in shape so gave up noodles and I LOVE Kelp Noodles. I made the recipe according to directions but for some reason it doesn't at all taste cheesy, it does have a yeast flavor (I believe that is what i'm tasting that isn't to my liking) I tried adding some garlic to it as some others have and still had a yeasty taste... is there something i did wrong? I used Red Star Nutritional Yeast, freshly opened.

Thanks for any suggestion or help!!!

This is fantastic! The sauce also doubles as a yummy cheese sauce for broccoli!!

So this sauce doesn't go directly on the noodles, right? I should make the alfredo sauce first and then add this like a garnish?

I got in late and was STARVING so I wanted something fast and really couldn't face a salad in the cold weather. I had never tried this recipe before and was reluctant to be experimenting when I just wanted to go for a sure thing. I was not disappointed! Absolutely delicious, and I really appreciated the "crunch" factor. But you're right, it is a $^&#@ to blend!!

I just bought a package of kelp noodles and I'm so excited to try this.

I loved this recipe, I added a bit of carrot to the mixture to change the color to more of a orange yellow, and I just used the nuts I had on hand (1/2 almonds, the other half sunflower seeds). The pepper, I agree added a ton.
Thank you, it was delicious.

made this tonight for dinner,.... OH MY GAWD! i cannot believe how delicious this is,... thank you :)

It didn't look like the picture, but it tasted great!!!!! Thanks so much for the website!! Everything I have made so far has tasted great!!!!!

We eat raw every now and then. It gets expensive with 5 people. This recipe sounds great, by the way. I will have to try it. When we have noodles, we use kelp noodles. I have to heat them a little in what ever sauce we have because they crunch and my oldest does not like it when they do that. Is there another way to soften them up like regular noodles?

I am new to raw vegan and find your website amazing. I would love to try this on my kids, but unfortunately they have nut allergies. They can eat almonds though. Have you ever tried these recipes with almonds? So many raw recipes use cashews!

Many thanks - I made this last night and my husband liked it also! We are on a cleanse and looking for raw recipes that will fill us up. The kelp noodles are great - and the sauce is very creamy. The ketchup is amazing and I am now on the search for more things to do with it - when I am finished with raw only, i will be more than happy to have this raw ketchup with baked fries. Thanks - very excited - chicken salad for dinner tonight, mushroom soup the next.

My favorite raw recipe, thank you! I make this all the time, and made it for a raw vegan potluck to rave reviews!

This is the most amazing raw recipe I have ever had! My girlfriend thinks I'm the best now for choosing it to make for dinner! Haha

Is the crunch similar to a regular pastas al dente texture? And if I wanted to soften the mac & cheese overnight in the fridge, could I re-heat in my dehydrator? BTW, I love your site! Your recipes are delicious and easily made by common folks. I had the tacos yesterday, wrapped in lettuce leaves topped guacamole and cilantro. Yes, they were delicious! Thank you for responding to our comments and questions.

Awesome site and great recipes!
Not sure if this was mentioned or not but kelp noodles have a much better texture after they've been soaked in water and lemon for a few hours. I've even had them sit in this cheese sauce overnight in the fridge and the outcome is a less crunchy "al dente" texture to the noodles. :)
Thanks xo

What is nutritional yeast? Is that marmite?

I don't think I have ever left a comment on any website I browse. But this recipe was so good, I had no choice but to compliment you! I have been reading this site for a few weeks and have made this and your brownies! Both were so good, and just what I needed to keep me focused eating raw! I am about 2 mo in eating raw, and I was on a hunt for a raw birthday cake for my soon to be two year old son when I came across your site, I am excited to give more of your recipes a try! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

This sauce is AMAZING ! I haven't eaten cheese for around 2 years as I don't digest it well and I've really missed it, but no longer! I only made a 1/4 of the amount to try it out, I should have made more! Thank you so much for your really simple, effective raw recipies and resources. I have found a new food love!

I have a question, why do you only use the white part of the courgette? Isn't the green where all the good stuff is? Is this just aesthetic? Or is there another reason?

Thanks again!

Wow! This was yummy! I am formerly the world's pickiest eater, so that is a huge compliment.
Question: Do you happen to know a place online to get less expensive raw cashews? I paid almost $9/lb and that make this dish a little too gourmet for my budget. Any ideas?

If you live near a Trader Joe's they are surprisingly inexpensive there.

Just made this for my dinner...first time trying kelp noodles...yum! I sprinkled some parsley on top which gave it a nice bite :)

I just made this for dinner, last night. I used Grains of Paradise instead of black pepper. It's surprisingly, refreshingly cheesy! Many thanks, Laura!

I was just looking up RAW CASHEWS on Amazon. Some of the 10 lb cases work out to $6 and change a pound, even with shipping. I'm going to order one and keep it in my fridge, because I can't handle $10 a pound at the store either!
