INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower Florets
70g Whole Wheat Elbow Pasta
60g Low-Fat Cheddar (Shredded)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (approx. 113g)
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, low-fat cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy sauce.
Return the pasta to the pot on low heat. Pour the cauliflower cream sauce over the pasta and stir to combine evenly.
Fold in the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese gradually allowing it to melt into the sauce, stirring continuously to create a rich, creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy twist on traditional mac and cheese.
