INGREDIENTS
50g Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
100g Cauliflower Florets
56g Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Egg White
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 8-10 minutes).
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender. Add reduced-fat cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, egg white, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine the cooked macaroni with the creamy cauliflower sauce in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
