Mac and Not-Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil and toss in the pasta and carrots. Cook according to the pasta package directions, minus two minutes. Drain.
3. In a saucepan, melt the Earth Balance margarine on low.
4. Whisk in the flour – this gets clumpy rather than roux-like – just blame the whole wheat. Stir for a minute or two.
5. Add in the boiling water, and whisk until the clumps dissolve and the water turns a brown milky color.
6. Add the soy sauce, garlic salt, and turmeric. Whisk away.
7. Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the oil and nutritional yeast.
8. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve all of the yeast.
9. Prepare an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
10. Pour in the noodles and carrots. Top with the sauce. Mix well.
11. Top with paprika and cracked pepper.
12. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F then switch the oven to broil and keep it in just for another couple of minutes, until the top is lightly browned. You want that sauce hot and bubbly.
13. Allow to cool before serving.
