Macaroni and No Cheese

whole wheat or brown rice macaroni
1 cup cashews
water
white vinegar
turmeric
nutritional yeast
garlic powder
spicy brown mustard or powdered mustard
olive oil

Cook macaroni for about 8 minutes, until al dente. While pasta is cooking, put cashews (presoaked and drained if you have time) and about 1/3 cup of water into the blender. Blend until cashews are all ground up and become creamy. While blender is running, add enough olive oil to thicken and more water if necessary. Add a dash of garlic powder, about 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast, a big spoonful of mustard, 1 tsp turmeric (for color), and 1 Tbsp vinegar. Mix again and taste. Add more of any seasonings to taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Mix sauce into cooked macaroni.
