While there are many recipes around for this classic comfort food favorite, trying to find a vegan version of Mac and Cheese that tastes like it came from the familiar blue box can be hard. Finding the perfect vegan Mac and Cheese is akin to a quest for the Holy Grail for many vegans.
While Drunken Spaghetti sounds like something you might eat cold, out of a storage container, standing over the kitchen sink after a night out, it is nothing like that all.
