Ingredients:

12    ounces        vegan ribbon noodles
                    = (quinoa, spelt, etc.)
1     tablespoon    light olive oil
3     medium        celery stalks
1     cup           sliced mushrooms
2     cups          soy or rice milk
1/4   cup           unbleached white flour
1     package       baked tofu - (8 oz)
2                   scallions - (to 3)
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
                    Wheat germ

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles and cook until just tender, according to package directions.
In the meantime, heat the margarine or oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the celery dice and saute over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until the mushrooms are wilted.
Pour 1 1/2 cups of the soy or rice milk into the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Combine the remaining milk with the flour in a small bowl and stir until the flour is smoothly dissolved. Slowly pour into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Simmer gently until the sauce has thickened, then remove from the heat.
When the noodles are done, drain them, then return them to the pot. Pour in the sauce, then add the baked tofu and scallions and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to an oiled, large shallow casserole dish. Top generously with wheat germ. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and beginning to get crusty. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
