You are going to need a rectangular baking dish which is about 2 quartz/ 9x11 inch or 19 x 12 cm.This is a link to the Hot Sauceand Green Seasoning that I use in the recipe.Try to use a combination of vegan cheese, including some mozzarella or vegan gouda if possible.For best results, be sure to include some vegan cream cheese too.Don't be overly concerned about the shape of the pasta, as I said penne or elbow yield the same results.Feel free to use brown rice elbow macaroni, this is a perfect gluten free option or gluten free penne works too.(I'm not paid for promoting this, this is my personal recommendation only) However, The Vegan Kind are an online company that stock a range of vegan cheese, if you wish to purchase online instead. I purchase my vegan cheese from Tesco and Asda since both supermarkets are local to me. I'm in the UK, where do you buy your vegan cheese? I've done plenty of trial and error with dairy free cheese and so far Sheese is my favourite for taste and its ability to melt (even if it's not completely). Whatever you do, I wouldn't recommend using cheese that is smokey. I also like Vegan Applewood Cheese, that melts better however, the smokiness doesn't really compliment, in fact it over powers this dish.ĭepending on what country you live in and the availability to vegan based cheese that you have, then you may need to use what is local to you.

The eggs and milk are combined together with the seasoning and then poured/folded into the macaroni along with half of the cheese. The base ingredients such as the onions, pimento pepper and so fourth are cooked until soft. Elbow macaroni is the preferred choice of pasta and it is cooked until al dente. I've tasted both Bajan and Trini macaroni pie with and without eggs and like both but some people will almost take offence if eggs are not added.Īnyway, Trinidad macaroni pie is flavoursome and delicious which ever way its made. There is this great debate as to whether or not eggs should be used. Like most Caribbean recipes, each Trinidadians will have their own way of making their pie.
