Creamy Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Breadcrumb Topping
A reimagined twist on classic mac and cheese, this dish blends steamed cauliflower with a creamy, cheesy sauce and whole wheat pasta for a nutritious base. Finished with a crisp breadcrumb topping and a hint of tang from Greek yogurt, every bite balances comforting creaminess with a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
40g whole wheat elbow pasta (dry)
200g cauliflower
72g shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/8 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the meantime, steam the cauliflower until very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a blender along with the unsweetened almond milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth to form a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the cauliflower sauce in an oven-safe bowl. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a small amount for topping.
Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the mixture. Top with the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
