Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
2.
Bring plenty of water to a boil in a medium-size pot. Add salt to taste. Add the pasta and cook it for 8 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Drain the water and set aside.
3.
For the béchamel: melt the margarine in a medium-size saucepan with the flour. Heat and cook it for a few seconds. Add the soy milk and stir the mixture with a whisk until it starts to boil. Let it cook for 1 minute. Season it with the nutmeg, granulated garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Add half of the grated cheese and mix everything.
4.
Mix the cooked pasta and béchamel sauce in a bowl. Add a base of fried tomato sauce in an oven dish, followed by chopped basil. Add the pasta and sprinkle it with the remaining grated cheese. Bake it in the oven for 15-18 minutes until gratin.
