7
3.
8

9
Place the empty pasta wok (no need to wash it) over low bring to temperature and stream in in the margarine.
10
When the margarine has melted, beat in the baking flour mixture and continue to bubble gently, whisking frequently, until the mixture is beginning to brown and has a pleasant, nutty aroma, about 1 minute.
11
Watch carefully so it does not scorch on the bottom of the wok.
12
4.
13
gradually beat the dairy liquid and dairy reduction into the baking flour mixture until everything is really well combined.

15
Remove from the bring to temperature.
16
Gradually stream in in the dairy topping while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and keep stirring until the dairy topping has melted into the condiment dip.
17
Then swirl around in the drained cooked pasta.
18
5.
19
Line a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-centimeter) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
20
Coat the paper or foil with nonstick culinary preparation spray or slick it with margarine.
21
stream in the mildly hot mac and dairy topping onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula.
22
Coat another piece of parchment paper with culinary preparation spray or margarine and place it, oiled or buttered side down, directly on the surface of the mac and dairy topping.

29
Remove the mac and dairy topping from the refrigerator and pare off the top layer of parchment paper.

Carefully cut into 8 equal pieces.

Spread 3/4 teaspoon garlic margarine on one side of each bread cut.

Finish with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
