INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Grain Macaroni
1 cup chopped Cauliflower
1/3 cup shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole grain macaroni according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and olive oil to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Pour the blended sauce into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, ensuring every piece is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the top to become lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
