INGREDIENTS
50g Whole Wheat Macaroni
100g Broccoli
50g Red Bell Pepper
30g Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
125g Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
50g Chickpeas (drained)
Olive Oil Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, chop the broccoli into florets and slice the red bell pepper into strips.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray and arrange the broccoli and red bell pepper. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, roasted vegetables, drained chickpeas, low-fat cheddar cheese, and non-fat Greek yogurt. Toss gently to mix.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and nutrient-packed bake!
