PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, 1% milk, Greek yogurt, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cooked macaroni with the blended sauce. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated.
Fold in the shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese and baby spinach, stirring until the cheese melts and the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your high protein, creamy mac and cheese.
