1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water for cooking pasta, once water is boiling add pasta and cook per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2) In a large saucepan make a roux with olive oil and flour. Whisk in almond milk and simmer until starts to thicken. Add 3/4 of each package of vegan cheese , smoked paprika, salt, pepper, Tabasco (to add a little heat) , whisk to melt and thoroughly mix.
3) While sauce is simmering, mix the reserved "cheese" with the seasoned panko bread crumbs in a bowl. Thaw the frozen chopped spinach in the microwave oven, then drain as much of the water as possible and mix into "cheese" sauce.
4) In a large bowl mix the cooked elbow pasta and the "cheese" sauce.
5) In a casserole dish put in a layer about half the depth of the dish, then sprinkle some of the bread crumb mixture. Finish by covering the breadcrumbs with the rest of the pasta and sauce, then top with the rest of the breadcrumbs and "cheese." Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
