olive oil

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture for topping.

Add 3 cups of plant milk, 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of miso paste, 1 teaspoon of salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to a pot and whisk until boiling.

Once boiling, add half a box of macaroni (200 grams) and stir continuously for about 8 minutes to ensure it cooks properly and doesn't stick.

Reduce the flame to a simmer and continue cooking until the sauce thickens.

Add nutritional yeast, dairy cream, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; mix everything evenly.

Finish with a dash of cayenne or cumin and garnish with parsley for presentation.
