Vegan Mac N Cheese

Can anyone recommend a tried and true vegan mac n cheese recipe? I see several on the web, but wondering if you have a favorite.

Good stuff. But not low fat. This is not a 21-day recipe.

Bugsmom posted a wonderful cheese sauce on the last kick start. It is delicious over BowTie noodles!!! Definitely a guilty pleasure.

1/4 cup raw almonds or raw cashews (cashews are softer, so may work better in some blenders.) plain, no salt, cashew butter also works well.
2 cups water
1 tsp. salt (or less to your taste)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
1 Tbsp. lemon juice to taste. (More makes it a sharper cheese flavor, less a milder flavor)

Option: blend 1 tsp canned jalapeƱos for a great nacho-style cheese.

Here's the one I use (from nutritionmd.org):

1/2 c. nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 c. unbleached flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups water
1/4 c. oil (I actually use about 1/2 of this amount)
1 tsp prepared mustard (I like dijon)

Mix nutritional yeast flakes, flour, salt, and garlic powder in 2 quart saucepan. Whisk in water. Cook over medium heat, whisking until mixture thickens and bubbles. Cook 30 seconds more, then remove from heat and whisk in oil and mustard. Sauce will thicken as it cools but will thin when heated.
