2/3 cup (160mL) unflavored soy drink

1/4 tsp (2g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)

1/8 tsp (0.5g) paprika

1/4 cup (40g) diced green bell pepper and roasted red pepper (optional)

1 Tbs (10g) grated onion (optional)

2–3 Tbs (15–25g) seasoned bread crumbs or grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare macaroni to al dente. Place macaroni in buttered baking dish with alternating layers of cheese.
