INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Macaroni
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Egg Whites
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1/2 tsp Dry Mustard
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, low-fat cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, skim milk, dry mustard, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the blended sauce in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Transfer the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the sauce is bubbling.
Allow it to cool slightly before serving for a delightful creamy texture.
