Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly spray a 2 1/2 quart caserole dish with cooking spray.

• Place onions in a blender or food processor with the milk, tofu, lemon juice, miso, hot sauce, turmeric, and salt and pepper.
• Process until well blended.
• Take a taste and adjust any of the seasonings as needed, then set aside.
• Cook rotini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just under al dente (I'd say about 6-7 minutes).
• Drain pasta and add the sauce from the blender and half of the grated cheese.
• Combine well.
• Place pasta into the caserole dish, and top with the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

• Put macaroni mixture in a buttered 13x9 inch pan.
• Topping: Put one sleeve of Ritz crackers in a zip loc bag and crush.Spread the crushed crackers over the top of the macaroni mixture. Drizzle 1/2 stick of melted butter all over the top.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Good with ham, turkey, chicken, pork or alone! Note: you can use more or less bell pepper to suite your taste. I always use the red bell peppers in this recipe not pimentos. I also love onions so if you want to use a small onion, that would work.
