Mac & Not Cheese 

(Dairy free, soy free, vegan and gluten free)

I used GoGo Quinoa Macaroni for this. You can use your own favourite pasta. I like to add a little organic hot sauce to it after to give it a kick. If you are not concerned about gluten this recipe is also great with other macaroni pastas.
