INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 large egg white
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni in a pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Mix the fat-free cottage cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and egg white in a bowl until smooth.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
Fold in the cooked macaroni ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the macaroni mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is slightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
