Enjoy this hearty, comforting dish that swaps traditional pasta for nutrient-packed cauliflower, all smothered in a rich, creamy sharp cheddar sauce and boosted with Greek yogurt for an extra hit of protein. Perfect for any meal of the day, this dish is both satisfying and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
2.5 cups cauliflower (250g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar (56g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (120g)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you prefer a roasted texture for the cauliflower, or prepare a pot for steaming.
Break the cauliflower into florets. Steam or roast the florets until tender (roast for 20-25 minutes, or steam for 8-10 minutes).
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sharp cheddar, nonfat Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce.
Season the sauce with garlic powder, dry mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Mix the cooked cauliflower with the cheese sauce until evenly coated. For a baked finish, transfer the mix to an oven-safe dish and bake for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors, or serve immediately if preferred.
Garnish with a light sprinkle of extra black pepper if desired and serve warm.
