pretend mac & cheese

This doesn't taste much like real mac & cheese, but when you're really missing it and haven't had it for long enough, this works with a little imagination.
Boil:
about a cup or so of rice pasta.
In another pan or in the microwave, boil:
¼ c. nutritional yeast (I get this in the bins at Whole Foods. It’s yellow flakes).
¼ c. water. (unsweetend hemp milk works great, but I rarely have this on hand).
1 T. olive oil
1 t. mustard
Couple shakes of paprika
Shake of cumin
Salt if you want it
Some people also like to add a little white cooking wine.
Once the sauce boils, it’ll thicken.
Pour the sauce on the noodles. I like to add some crumbled up toasted wheat-free bread crumbs and tomato (it helps distract me from the lack of cheese).
It’s also good with some organic nitrate-free chicken dogs.
