Enjoy a comforting twist on classic mac & cheese by blending tender steamed cauliflower, whole wheat macaroni, and a blend of sharp cheddar, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese. This dish delivers creamy texture, delightful tang, and a protein boost, making it a delicious option for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (300g, steamed)
40g Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
40g Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (62g)
PREPARATION
Preheat a pot of water to boil for the whole wheat macaroni. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta is cooking, cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Once steamed, lightly mash the cauliflower for a creamy texture.
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and low-fat cottage cheese. Stir until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
Fold the cooked whole wheat macaroni into the cauliflower-cheese mixture. Warm the combined dish gently over low heat if desired, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and bind the ingredients together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately for a warm, protein-packed twist on classic mac & cheese.
