INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower
56g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
120g Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 Egg Whites
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you plan to bake for a slightly crisp top, otherwise you can serve straight from the stovetop.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until fork-tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a blender or food processor and pulse lightly to break it up, leaving some texture resembling pasta.
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, and egg whites.
Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir continuously until the mixture is combined and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a baked version, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
Serve warm as a protein-packed twist on traditional mac and cheese.
