Total making time: 20 minutes

Serves: 3 bowls 

Ingredients:
2 cups brown rice pasta (dry)
4 cups water
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon of thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon coconut butter

Action:1. In a pot add the brown rice pasta and water. Bring to the boil. Then stir and reduce heat to medium/low. Keep stirring until cooked and pasta is soft. (approx 10-20 mins) The pasta will soak up the water enough so it leaves a creamy consistency in the pot. The idea is to reduce the water so no draining at the end is needed. This is the creamy base for the 'mac n cheese'. 
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pasta and stir together. 
3. You should have something that looks like the photo above! Creamy and cheesy! Add more nutritional yeast if you want is 'cheesier'.

Your ideas are interesting and have been suggested to me by others...unfortunately rice pasta tastes like cardboard...no one in my family would eat it! It was "gluey" according to my daughter and I have to agree!

HAHA! Cardboard. That's funny! :) I happen to like it, but I guess it's not you and your family's cup of tea. Have you tried quinoa pasta?

What would change if we left out the yeast? I can't add it to anything I eat, too many issues from it.

Hey Shavell- The nutritional yeast is what gives it that "cheesy" flavor so if it was left out it wouldn't be cheesy.
