INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat elbow macaroni (cooked)
1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1 ounce low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Lightly steam or microwave the chopped cauliflower until just tender, then set aside.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and whole wheat flour over medium heat to create a light roux, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Combine the cooked macaroni, steamed cauliflower, and the yogurt sauce in a baking dish. Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly browned.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
