This is a variation of SDA “cashew cheese!” I’ve been making this recipe for over 25 years 😊. If you want to make it Caldwell Esselstyn heart healthy just substitute potatoes and carrots for the cashews. It works great! You want it to be quite saucy before baking so that it isn’t dry.
I make my sauce with well cooked butter beans, instead of cashew so it's lower in fat, but I add a little cashew butter. I love broccoli in mine with homemade chipotle grape tomato salsa. Such a comfort meal! 😋🤤 I love my kitchen scissors. I often use them to add green onion to my Asian dishes.
@@tj6959 I watch for sales on nuts and nut butters. I keep the nuts in the freezer. My cashew butter was buy one get one free, so I'm set for at least a year. 🤣
I was wondering about a substitute for those of us doing Reversal...thank you for the suggestion of butter beans! I will add this to the recipe in the book! I do wish the recipes had a P or an R for Prevention or Reversal on the recipes since they are not all inclusive for Reversal of Heart Disease.
Hot tip: boil the cashews for 15 minutes and it’s like soaking overnight. Gives it a more creamy texture. If you want nacho sauce use smoked anything lolol.
I made this today! I just had to try it. It is fantastic! I made it just like the recipe except I only had soy milk. It was great! I added the spinach and tomatoes. I did add the frozen corn and I used whole wheat elbows. Everyone should try it. I loved that you showed Ann pulling the tire at the end. She really is inspiring! You all are. Thank you for this wonderful, easy recipe!
I use a LOT of sauce... but still not too much. LOL! I am allergic to peppers, so I use cooked potato instead. The potato adds a subtle flavor dimension that really adds to the sauce! ALSO - I use Miso paste instead of lemon juice, it's not as sharp on the tongue and my daughter likes it better that way.
Where Brian uses cashews, I use steamed cauliflower. It's a delicious, creamy, low-fat, nitric oxide rich dish. Using nuts seems to dilute Dr. Esselstyn's message but to each his own. I use scissors to mince greens and lettuce, as Brian does. To me, they taste a lot better in small bits rather than in big old chunks. Oh, yes, we Do want it swimming in sauce. I love that baking dish--so pretty! Peas are good in this dish, too. Thank you for an interesting video.
I agree this recipe is plant strong but not plant perfect so I use cannellini beans instead of the cashews to make a lower fat recipe and I eliminate the salt. Ann, are you no longer following a plant perfect diet?
Add the rest of the sauce, Brian. Peas also go well with this. I use jarred pimentos instead of roasted red peppers but essentially the same recipe. Blessings!
I’m an eye baller and scissor user in the kitchen too! I try to use the least amount of things so there’s less washing up. I love your cooking videos because they are entertaining, inspiring and I learn how to cook oil free.
I'm not crazy about the red bell pepper in cheese sauce - I'll try the carrot and potato. Either way, that sure looked yummy. Somebody said mushrooms would be good too. I can't wait to try it. I think the tomatoes and spinach was a good switch.
@@kefirheals7383 i bake my red capsicums FIRST then peel off the charred skin. then holy dooley! when u throw them into the cheese sauce & blend, it adds a lovely sweet & slightly spicy element! which tastes NOTHING like raw capsicum.
@@CastledarkDweller27 People don’t have anything against peppers. Except the ones that do because it gives them indigestion due to intolerances. You’re not convincing anybody to put peppers in their macaroni and cheese lol.
I just had to comment on how great this recipe is. I absolutely love it. It taste so much like baked ziti I am going to make it for my next family gathering. Thanks you ladies are great!
I just made this last night except I use less cashews and replace with steamed butternut squash. Also I use vinegar instead of lemon and chickpea pasta to up the protein.
Just made this and I am sitting here like.. Wow.. That was delicious!!... Thank you for the Videos and Books.. Your Family is Amazing... Pretty sure I am Type "A" personality too and Your Both doing Amazing.. Keep up the Great Work..
Been meaning to try this. OMG!!! It's delicious. I made the Roasted Cauliflower with added veggies yesterday and used some of this instead of the roasted red peppers. It was heaven!!
What a fantastic dish! I love it with roasted broccoli on top! I use bean based pasta as I cannot eat wheat. And hot sauce on top is delicious! If you love it saucy there is zero guilt! My cash sauce uses roasted butternut squash instead of onion and red bell pepper. (I grow lots of organic butternut squash.)
This looks amazing, I’m going to make it tomorrow and I’ll pile it on top of kale that I have in the fridge. Thanks for sharing another brilliant recipe and for demonstrating this in such a relaxed way. I feel as if I’m in the kitchen with you 😊
Thank you Brian for this recipe. I made it tonight and served it on a bed of Lacinato Kale (thanks Ann :)) It was very good and I don't think you can have too much of the sauce. Unfortunately I'm the only one trying to eat WFPB and it can be a challenge sometimes making my own meals but I'm determined to get off the statin drug and reverse the T2. Your recipes help a lot with that so thanks.
Thank you so much. That recipe sounds really good! And it's not hard to make, a double bonus! I enjoy your show and I enjoy having 2 of your cookbooks.
I used to have this cookbook and made the mac and cheese but never baked it. Tonight, I baked it....I will be having this meal at least once a week! I might have to buy some whole wheat penne! Thank you
Costco recently started selling macadamia nut butter(35 oz/12.99!)so as a "healthier" option than the cashews, you could then make Mac and Mac!!!(And they also sell Macadamia Milk which I feel is healthier than oat milk. We're not horses are we?;D)
This sauce will turn out better in a Vitamix or Blentec blender, way smoother and creamier then in the food possessor. Also, I would have used all the sauce with the noodles ( more is better, the ladies were right) because they will absorb more sauce while it bakes, not enough sauce will cause the whole thing being dry.
This does look amazing and I cannot wait to make it. Is this in the Engine 2 cookbook? The link above is for a different book. I do have your newest book though and absolutely love it!!!
Now that you have lunch and dinner taken care off. What do you make for breakfast ? I am very interested in this . That’s why I will subscribe to your channel. God bless.
Why wouldn’t Brian just add all of the ingredients into the food processor at once? It’s not necessary to have added the red peppers and nooch in increments.
“He’s DRIVING” never heard that before but w a type A wife and mil, great way to diffuse power struggles thanks for that and your wonderful vids that really r so inspiring and uplifting too….(ruff time since husband passed very unexpectedly Nov before COVID and COVID and since home alone) no small thanks for bringing back my joie de vivre !💕🌿🤗🌿🌷
I have a question but first let me give you a little background since June of 2021 I've had a stroke in two heart attacks. I just bought the book while the cookbook I didn't buy the other book I bought the cookbook and I need to lose about 120 lb do I adjust what I eat or can I eat all the recipes here? Somebody said the some of the recipes are to reverse some of them are to prevent.
There are actually two different diets here: Plant Strong (which includes Rip & Jane Esselstyn's books) and Plant Perfect (which is by Caldwell & Ann Esselstyn, the parents). You want the Plant Perfect diet. It is worth getting the book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Caldwell Esselstyn. It includes the correct diet for you, explains why we know it works, and provides recipes. Basically, you need to keep your calories from fat to about 10%. This means, for example, that the recipe in this video is a no-no for you (because of the cashews). You also want to avoid coconut, avocado, and other high-fat foods. Otherwise the diets are similar - plants only, mostly whole plants, no added salt or sugar. Most important (to quote Caldwell Esselstyn): NO OIL!
Juan, you could also substitute the same amount of a salt-free white bean like cannellini beans for the cashews. Carl's recommendation to get Dr. Esselstyn's book is right on. Here's to regaining your heart health!
@@carl13579 I bought their cookbook the prevent and reverse heart disease cookbook. My question is I can use all the recipes in this book? Some people say that I'm not able or I shouldn't use every recipe in here.

Please make an instant pot cookbook !!
Yum. What a ingenious idea to have kitchen scissors. Will put that on my list !

Jane is hyper
To me its Brian who is the A type, he seems a very cranky irritable person
It’s the Esselstyn variety show!

You all are so inspirational!❤️🥬🥦

Why wouldn’t Brian just add all of the ingredients into the food processor at once? It’s not necessary to have added the red peppers and nooch in increments.
To give the mixture a chance to emulsify a little would be my guess. It changes the texture.
