INGREDIENTS
50 grams Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup Cauliflower (chopped, approx. 107 grams)
0.5 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
0.25 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until it is very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender and add the low-fat cottage cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Mix the sauce with the cooked macaroni in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the macaroni is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top, stirring gently until the cheese melts into the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy cauliflower mac and cheese.
