INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Elbow Pasta
1 cup Cauliflower, chopped
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1.5 oz Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Mustard Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or microwave the chopped cauliflower until tender but not mushy.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine low-fat milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder. Warm until slightly simmering.
Reduce the heat and stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the cooked pasta, steamed cauliflower, and cheese sauce together in a large bowl, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
