PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked finish, or prepare a stovetop setup for a stovetop version.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If desired, you can lightly mash them for a creamier texture.

  • 3

    Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.

  • 4

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the steamed cauliflower, whole wheat macaroni, low-fat milk, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is well blended and heated through.

  • 5

    Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and stir until it gradually melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.

  • 6

    For a baked version, transfer the mixture to a small baking dish, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top, and bake for 10 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned. For a quick stovetop finish, simply serve once the cheese is incorporated.
