INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
1 cup Cauliflower, chopped
1/2 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, low-fat milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cauliflower sauce, and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
