INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Elbow Pasta

1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 Egg Whites
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Boil the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine fat-free cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and egg whites. Whisk together until smooth.
Mix the cooked pasta into the cheese mixture ensuring it is evenly coated. Stir in the roasted broccoli gently.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the mixture is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
