INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne pasta until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, and shredded part-skim cheddar cheese. Mix well to form a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and roasted broccoli to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake for another 10 minutes in the oven to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let sit for a few minutes, then serve warm.
