INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry)

100g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 tsp Mustard Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, mustard powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cauliflower sauce into a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the low-fat cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt while stirring continuously.
