The first step is to make the No-Cheese Sauce. Select the links at the top of this page to get to the recipes.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and remove the stem.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
Add the almonds to a high-speed blender and blend them into a chunky consistency. Don't make it into a flower. You want to keep it chunky to add some crunch to the Mac & Cheeze.
Mix the pasta, no-cheese sauce, broccoli florets and almonds in a big bowl until everything is mixed well. Serve and add some nutritional yeast and cilantro.
Notes
You could add everything (except the cilantro) into a backing dish and place into the oven for about 15-20 minutes (at 350ºF). This will brown the nutritional yeast a little.
