You can do just about anything with it!

- All-purpose cheese sauce. Add creaminess to any dish with this recipe for magic all-purpose cauliflower sauce from Foodie with Family. This simple-to-make sauce goes beautifully with pasta, pizza, biscuits and gravy, and macaroni and cheese.
- Alfredo sauce. Traditional Alfredo sauce uses generous amounts of butter and cream, making the dish notoriously rich. Using cauliflower blended with sautéed garlic, broth, and olive creates a lighter, but equally flavorful, version of this classic sauce.
- Lasagna. Food doesn't get more comforting than lasagna. Approach this dish as you would your favorite lasagna recipe, but instead of ricotta cheese, blend together pressed tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
- Macaroni and cheese. The ultimate gooey, cheesy, creamy dish, there's no way we could leave macaroni and cheese off of this list. Recreating the taste and texture of classic mac is actually pretty easy with the right ingredients.
- Bagel and cream cheese. A bagel with cream cheese (toasted or untoasted) is just as satisfying and delicious when made using plant-based ingredients. Once you become familiar with this recipe for a basic tofu cream cheese from The Easy Veg, you can experiment with different flavors, like cinnamon-walnut, veggie, or scallion-herb.
- Jalapeño poppers. Spicy, creamy, and perfect for parties, this version of vegan jalapeño poppers from Namely Marly uses tofu-based cream cheese and nutritional yeast to recreate the salty cheese flavor.
- Caramelized mushroom pizza. Traditional pizza is great, but elevating the toppings is a clever way to avoid relying on cups of shredded mozzarella. This recipe for caramelized mushroom pizza from The Curious Chickpea uses mushrooms, rosemary, and a vegan garlic cream sauce, making it totally vegan, as well as crispy and delicious.
- Creamy polenta with mushrooms and spinach. Polenta is a smooth cornmeal porridge often served beneath a pile of sautéed mushrooms, leafy greens, beans, or roasted tomatoes.
- Spicy Jalapeño Cashew 'Cheese' Dip. Turn up the heat and remove the dairy to make this spicy jalapeño cashew-cheese dip. Ideal for parties and gatherings, this dip gets its punchy flavor from a blend of jalapeño, cashew cream, fresh garlic, and nutritional yeast.
We’ve put a goat milk twist on this kid-favorite to boost nutrition! This cow milk-free recipe packs a protein punch and has less sodium than your average store-bought mac n’ cheese. Plus, by swapping cow milk and cheese for goat, it may be an option for little ones with cow milk sensitivity.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 5 minutes
Makes 4 servings, each 1/2 cup (125 mL)/140 g
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 mL)Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula, unprepared
- ½ cup (125 mL) warm water
- ½ cup (125 mL) goat milk, 3.25%
- 1 cup (250 mL) dried macaroni elbows
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup (310 mL) coarsely grated cheddar goat cheese, about 3 oz (84 g)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Place formula in a small bowl. Whisk in water, then milk.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. When boiling, add macaroni and stir. Boil, stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked and tender. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Sprinkle and mix in flour. Stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in prepared formula mixture, whisking often for 1 to 2 more minutes, just until hot. Be careful not to overheat or overcook the sauce or it may separate.
- Stir in 1 cup (250 mL) of grated cheese. Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Stir in cooked macaroni until evenly mixed.
- Spoon pasta into 4 small heatproof baking dishes, such as ramekins, each holding 2/3 cup (160 mL). Sprinkle remaining cheese overtop. For added crunch, crumble up some Kabrita Snuck Puffs with Goat Cheese!
- Bake in centre of preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand until cool enough to enjoy. If ramekins are too warm, spoon into bowls before serving.
Tip: If making ahead, macaroni and cheese will keep well, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. To reheat, microwave or cook on the stove in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warm. Stir in a little more milk to moisten if desired. Let stand until cool enough to enjoy. Do not use formula discarded from your toddler’s feed.
