INGREDIENTS
200 g Cauliflower florets
56 g Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni (approx. 1/2 cup dry)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120 g)
1/4 cup Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded (28 g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese (5 g)
1 large Egg
2 tbsp toasted Almond Flour (14 g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, and the egg until smooth.
Combine the cooked macaroni, steamed cauliflower, and the yogurt-cheese mixture in a baking dish. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted almond flour evenly over the top to create a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is heated through and the topping is lightly golden.
Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
