1 cup (75g) elbow macaroni (uncooked)

1 cup (130g) shredded cheddar cheese

1 egg

2/3 cup (160mL) unflavored soya 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/gas mark 4).

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

Bake for about 30 minutes, until is well melted and top is slightly browned.
