Most vegan cheesy sauces have a lot of nuts (usually cashews). Some people are avoiding nuts for various reasons (ex: allergies, weight loss, heart disease), and this sauce calls for heart-healthy hemp seeds along with tofu! It is wonderful used in the Chickpea and Greens Mini Frittatas, but also makes a great slightly spicy mac & cheese (bean pasta recommended). Serve over baked potatoes, steamed veggies, drizzled on Mexican casserole dishes or your favorite bean/veggie/grain bowl combination.
CHEF’S NOTES
Leave out the chipotle and smoked paprika for a plain cheesy sauce.
