1/2 cup Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Olive Oil

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 6-8 minutes, and then transfer to a blender.
Add low-fat milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the blender with the cauliflower. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta with the cauliflower sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir in half of the shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
