Best Mac and Cheese EVER!!!

Growing up as kid I always loved mac and cheese. When I became a vegetarian i found a simple mac and cheese recipe with tofu. It is now one of my favorite dishes and I always enjoy when my mom cooks it for me. The recipe is simple and can even be made in a college dorm. The most difficult part is finding all the ingredients, but once you have all of them it is easy to make

You will need:
12 oz. pasta (white or whole wheat)

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Bring water to a boil, and cook pasta according to package directions.

Combine all cheese sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree.

Drain pasta, and mix it along with cheese sauce, onions, and pasta, into baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumb/cheddar mixture on top. Bake for 30 minutes covered, and then 5 minutes uncovered.
