Ingredients

    1/2 cup White Flour
    1/2 cup SmartBalance Light with Flaxseed Oil (vegan)
    2 cups WestSoy Lite Soymilk, Plain
    2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
    8 oz. Whole Wheat Rotini Pasta
    2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
    salt & pepper to taste

Tips

SmartBalance Light with Flaxseed Oil is completely vegan - it even states it on the container.


Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, using saucepan on medium-low heat, melt SmartBalance. Once melted, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly to prevent burning. Once flour has been incorporated, start adding soymilk slowly and continue whisking until you have a smooth consistency. Whisk in nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Keep cooking until pasta is ready. Add chives just before adding sauce to pasta.

Once pasta is finished cooking, drain it and put back into large cooking pot. Pour white sauce over and mix thoroughly.

Enjoy!
