PREPARATION

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are very tender, about 6-8 minutes.
3
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender along with the low-fat cottage cheese and unsweetened almond milk. Blend until you have a smooth sauce. Season the sauce with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4
Return the cooked pasta to the pot and stir in the cauliflower sauce until the pasta is evenly coated.
5
Fold in the reduced-fat cheddar cheese, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the cheese for added creaminess.
6
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed twist on mac and cheese.
