INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (107g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni (dry, 56g)
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (56g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1/4 cup Whole Milk (60g)
1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Then, lightly mash them with a fork to create a slightly creamy texture, leaving some pieces intact for texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, whole milk, and dry mustard powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta, mashed cauliflower, and the yogurt mixture in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
