Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil for the pasta. Finely chop the onion. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves.
Step 2 — Cook pasta
Cook the pasta in the pan of boiling water for 7 mins or until al dente. Drain. Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, for 3-4 mins until softened.
Step 3 — Make sauce
Add the vegan cheddar, coconut milk, country seasoning, 2 tsp dijon mustard and 60ml (¼ cup) water to the onion mixture and stir to combine. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3-4 mins until melted and combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper (see Make it yours).
Step 4 — Add peas
Add the pasta and peas to the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 3 mins or until the peas are tender and the sauce is thickened. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 — Serve up
Divide the mac 'n' cheese among bowls. Top with the rocket and drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it yours
If you have nutritional yeast in your pantry, add a little to the sauce to make this vegan dish extra 'cheesy'.
