INGREDIENTS
50 g Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1/8 cup Whole Grain Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and mix until smooth.
Add the cooked macaroni to the creamy mixture and stir well to coat.
Transfer the pasta mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese followed by whole grain breadcrumbs over the mozzarella for a crispy topping.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the topping is golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
