INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry whole wheat macaroni (approx. 56g)
2 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 150g)
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (approx. 40g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 125g)
1/4 cup low-fat milk (approx. 60g)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 4-5 minutes, then lightly mash them to create a creamy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Mix the cooked macaroni into the cauliflower sauce, then transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the macaroni and cauliflower mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and comforting cauliflower macaroni bake!
