Cook the macaroni according to the instructions. While the macaroni is cooking, prepare the sauce.

Add all sauce ingredients to a pot except the flour and parsley. Use a whisk to combine well. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.

Now it’s time to thicken the sauce. Add 3 tablespoons of cold plant milk plus 1½ tablespoons of whole wheat flour into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously to combine. Add mixture back to sauce. Stir with a whisk to eliminate any lumps. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce reaches desired consistency. If sauce gets too thick, add more milk.

Transfer macaroni to serving bowl. Pour cheese sauce over macaroni. Garnish with parsley.
