INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/2 cup Reduced-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, half of the reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and dried Italian herbs in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta, steamed cauliflower, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is bubbly and lightly golden.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
