Ingredients

  • 3 cups EDEN soy milk
  • 1/2 large sweet onion quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and lightly smashed
  • 1 12 oz. box EDEN vegetable shells pasta
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon EDEN sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8X11" baking pan with olive oil cooking spray. 
  • Bring soy milk, sweet onion, and garlic cloves to a boil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Once boiling, turn heat to medium low and simmer until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil noodles for 8 minutes at a rolling boil. Drain the noodles, then rinse them in cool water for 30 seconds, to make sure noodles stay al dente and don’t stick together.
  • Pour soy and vegetable mixture into a blender with nutritional yeast, salt, dijon mustard and chili powder. Blend until smooth.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat in a medium Dutch oven, then add flour. Whisk the flour and oil constantly for about 3 minutes, or until a light brown roux forms. Next, add milk mixture very slowly (be careful it will bubble), whisking constantly.
  • Cook until the liquid is thickened on medium heat. Turn to medium low if the liquid gets too bubbly. It should have reduced at least 1/3 in volume.
  • Toss cooled noodles into pan with sauce, then pour mixture into a greased baking dish.
  • Toss breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil.
  • Spread breadcrumbs to taste over casserole and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro to finish.
