Enjoy a comforting bake that marries the nutty chew of whole wheat macaroni with a creamy, cheesy sauce enhanced by a touch of Greek yogurt for extra tang and protein. This dish is baked to perfection for a deliciously golden finish, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Macaroni
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in a large pot of salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the whole wheat flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk, ensuring the mixture remains smooth. Bring it to a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Mix in the non-fat Greek yogurt to enhance creaminess and boost the protein content.
Combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce in a casserole dish, stirring until all the pasta is evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the dish is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
