INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (107g)
1 cup Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni (cooked, 140g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded (56g)
1/2 cup Plain Non-fat Greek Yogurt (125g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (120g)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, garlic, and dry mustard. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the cooked whole wheat macaroni and steamed cauliflower in a large bowl. Pour the cheese sauce over the mixture and gently stir to ensure even coating.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
