PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 6-8 minutes, then lightly mash them to create a chunky texture.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with cooked quinoa, reduced-fat sharp cheddar, nonfat Greek yogurt, and low-fat cottage cheese.
Drizzle in olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and smooth the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed, comforting bottle of Cauliflower Mac!
