Macaroni and Cheese!

We all like to eat healthy. But, sometimes, when you've been taking care of a sick baby all week, when you're sick yourself, when winter just won't get the hint and leave...you need something more than salad. You need CARBS! Lots of carbs! But still cruelty-free carbs.

Ingredients:
- 450 g. elbow pasta (whole-wheat or spelt)

- 1 C. nutritional yeast
- 4 Tbsp. flour
- 2 C. rice milk
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp. mustard powder
- pepper, to taste

- 1 C. bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

- 1/4 C. chopped onion
- 1 C. frozen peas

Step 1: Boil water, preheat oven to 350F.
Step 2: Start cooking pasta! But don't cook all the way. Cook maybe 80% of the way.
Step 3: Add middle section of ingredients (nutritional yeast to pepper) in a large saucepan and mix together. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Add partially cooked pasta to oven-safe casserole dish. Add nutritional yeast "cheese". Mix in those peas! Top with bread crumbs, garlic powder, and onions.
Step 5: Bake in oven for approx 20 min.

You will probably want to serve this with a big serving of some delicious steamed vegetables, like cauliflower. Just to show that you haven't given up the whole health food thing COMPLETELY.

We didn't take any photos, because we were all too busy eating.
