Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Macaroni:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the macaroni and set aside.
3. Infuse the Oil with Garlic:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Make the Roux:
- Sprinkle the whole-grain wheat flour over the garlic and oil. Stir continuously to form a paste, cooking the raw taste out of the flour. This should take about 2 minutes.
5. Prepare the Sauce:
- Slowly pour in the almond milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Cook the mixture, continuing to whisk until it thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Season the Sauce:
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the sauce and stir to combine.
7. Add the Cheese:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and nutritional yeast until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
8. Combine Macaroni and Sauce:
- Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce. Stir until all the macaroni is well-coated with the cheese sauce.
9. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish.
10. Add the Topping:
- Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
11. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
12. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a bit more almond milk to the sauce.

- For an extra crispy top layer, broil the mac n cheese for a few minutes after baking.

- Feel free to customize the dish with other cheeses like cheddar or gouda for a different flavor profile.

- Adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as parsley or chives can provide a burst of color and freshness.

In just a few steps, your delicious garlic-infused mac n cheese with parmesan and whole-grain wheat flour is ready to be enjoyed. This dish combines comfort and richness with a healthy twist, making it perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy delight and relish the wonderful flavor medley.
