INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the chickpea pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small saucepan on low heat, gently warm the non-fat Greek yogurt along with the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring frequently until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy. Avoid overheating to prevent curdling.
Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sauce.
Combine the drained pasta and steamed cauliflower in a large bowl. Pour the warm cheese and yogurt sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy this protein-packed twist on comfort food.
