1 1/2 cups
nondairy milk, (I used plain hemp milk)

1 tablespoon
rice or sorghum flour
-
3 tablespoons
nutritional yeast
-
3 tablespoons
white wine

1/2 teaspoon
prepared mustard

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a deep 9-inch pie plate and set aside.
- Slice the leek and mushrooms and toss them into a roasting pan. Add enough grape tomatoes to bring the amount to heaping cups or so. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with sea salt, ground pepper and herbs; toss to coat. Roast in the preheated oven till tender, about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, make your white sauce.
- In a sauce pan add the olive oil, nondairy milk, and potato flour; whisk and cook over medium heat. The potato flour will thicken the milk. Add in the nutritional yeast and whisk. Add the wine, mustard, nutmeg, minced onion, and garlic, and stir till thickened. This is your basic vegan white sauce. Mix up egg substitute for two eggs using warm nondairy milk. Stir it into the white sauce. Add the millet or rice flour and one teaspoon baking powder and whisk to combine.
- When the veggies are roasted, layer the cooked pasta in the prepared pie plate. Pour in the vegan white sauce mixture and shimmy the noodles a bit to allow the sauce to seep in. Top with the roasted veggies. Toss the cornbread crumbs in a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle over the pie. Press down a bit to compact the layers. Sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary. Arrange the uncooked asparagus spears on the top.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes or so, till piping hot. Allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Use a sharp knife to slice and a pie shaped spatula/server.
