Baked Creamy Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Herbed Breadcrumbs
Enjoy a comforting twist on mac and cheese that swaps out heavy creams for a velvety cauliflower sauce, blended with a touch of Greek yogurt and melted part-skim mozzarella. Light yet satisfying, this dish features protein-packed chickpea pasta and a crispy, herbed whole wheat breadcrumb topping with a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
INGREDIENTS
350g Cauliflower
2 oz dry Chickpea Pasta
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until very tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Blend the steamed cauliflower with nonfat Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt and pepper, until smooth and creamy.
Mix the blended cauliflower sauce with the cooked pasta and stir in the shredded mozzarella.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs and sprinkle with dried Italian herbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
