INGREDIENTS
1 cup cauliflower (107g)
2 oz dry chickpea pasta (56g)
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar (56g)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60ml)
Cooking spray
Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
Steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Once tender, transfer to a blender.
Add nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika to the blender. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the steamed cauliflower sauce. Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cheese or paprika on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
