cheese sauce – The Vegan Rhino

A very quick and easy dish to curb any cheesy pasta desires. Comfy and filling, it comes together in a flash and is a perfect last-minute meal! This is one of my favorite go-to meals to make, with a touch of fresh parsley before serving to boost the flavor!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. plant-based butter

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced

3 small garlic cloves, minced

2 Tbsp. organic all-purpose flour

1 cup oat milk

1/2 cup vegetable broth

3 oz. non-dairy cream cheese

1 1/4 cups plant-based mozzarella cheese shreds

3/4 cup plant-based cheddar cheese shreds

Seasonings

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp. Himalayan pink salt

In a sauce pot, melt butter on medium heat and sauté onions for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook an additional minute.
Sprinkle flour evenly and stir cooking for a minute. Pour in oat milk and broth slowly, stirring as you do. Combine cheeses, Worcestershire sauce, seasonings, and mix until smooth and cheese has melted.
