1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
3 large Egg Whites
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, and egg whites until smooth.
Stir in the cooked macaroni and shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Pour the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the dish is heated through.
Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
