1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Boil and drain the noodles. You know how to do this. Toss with a teeny weeny bit of oil or margarine, if desired, to stop sticking. Save 1.5 cups of this water to add to the sauce, or put more water on to boil.
2. Melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook for 2 minutes, if using.
3. Beat in the flour with a whisk, making a roux. Stir for one minute. Lower the heat if it bubbles too much.
4. Stir in the hot water, sea salt, shoyu or soy sauce, garlic powder if using, turmeric, pepper and any other spices you want (paprika, onion powder, chili powder, whatever).
5. Stir for another minute until the sauce starts to thicken. Whisk in the oil and the nutritional yeast.
6. Add at least half of the sauce to your cooked noodles and veggies, if using, in a lightly oiled casserle dish (I use a round 8''). Top with the rest of the sauce, the breadcrumbs, and/or paprika, if using and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned, with or without breadcrumbs. Broil for approximately 5 minutes, and remove from oven.
7. Cool for about 7 minutes, and dig in.
*Double if feeding more, or you want a great bunch of leftovers.
*Also optional: add a spoonful of tahini and or/mustard for a tangier taste. (ala white cheddar style from brainstorming on the ppk)
