Leo Tolstoy’s recipe for mac & cheese? It only contains four ingredients: macaroni, parmesan cheese, butter, and something called “vegetable sauce”. I’m gonna stick to Kenji for mac & cheese and Tolstoy for novels.

His recipe really isn't that different than Kenji's other than the sauce. The butter effectively works as evaporated milk.
Also, vegetable sauce is essentially a puree of cooked vegetables. It's discussed on the food.com article about the recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/macaroni-and-cheese-leo-tolstoys-family-style-520752
