Healthy Macaroni and Cheese (cont)
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Start roasting the garlic by putting cloves with skins into a heavy skillet over medium high heat turning frequently to keep from burning. When soft, they are done. Cool a minute and remove skins. Prepare the pasta, boiling a few minutes less than the directions state. Drain. Melt the margarine in a 2 quart sized saucepan. Add the garlic, mashing and then whisking. Add flour 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring. Toast for a minute. Then add the soymilk, 1/2 cup or so at a time, stirring or whisking constantly until the sauce is thickened. Add the mustard, pepper, and salt (if desired), bring all to a slow boil. Take off the sauce pan, stir in the cheeses, and add a bit more soymilk if needed to desired consistency. Add pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring to mix. Spray 2 quart baking dish with non-stick spray. Transfer the pasta and sauce to the baking dish, top with bread crumbs, sprinkle with paprika and turmeric. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly.
