This has reminded me that there used to be a brand called Modern Table which made vegan macaroni and cheese using red lentil flour for the pasta. It was delicious. I don't even know what the "cheese" was made out of, but it was also delicious. Better than any other mac and cheese I have had. But of course, as so many niche products do, they quickly disappeared from shelves.
I'm not even vegan, and I still miss that mac and cheese.
Red-lentil pastas are probably in your grocery store near the regular pasta. Not sure about macaroni but I've definitely seen shells. As for the sauce, a lot of vegan cheese recipes use "nutritional yeast" for cheesy flavor so maybe adding a little to regular mac'ncheese sauce would hit that profile you remember
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to take a look. I know that there are a ton of different pasta options available in some of the different stores near me. Wheat upsets my stomach (not Celiac, though), but I love mac and cheese so much that I'll eat it occasionally anyway.
Maybe I'll look up some vegan cheese recipes and see if I can make a decent red lentil-based version.
