INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/3 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Broccoli
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add whole wheat pasta and cook until al dente, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread it on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a blender, combine low-fat cottage cheese, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix the hot, drained pasta with the cheese sauce, ensuring even coating.
Transfer the cheesy pasta into a baking dish. Top with the roasted broccoli.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy baked mac & cheese with roasted broccoli.
