  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
  3. Heat 1 cup of the nondairy milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. In a cup, whisk the flour into the remaining 1/4 cup of milk until dissolved.

  5. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with oil, and transfer the coated pasta into the dish. Cover the pasta with the bread crumbs. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and broil until browned on top, about 5 minutes.
