INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Elbow Pasta (~56g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (~113g)
1/2 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (~120g)
0.5 oz Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded (~14g)
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Dry Mustard Powder
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese mixture, stirring gently until the pasta is evenly coated and the sauce is creamy.
Heat the combined pasta and sauce in a saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat to prevent curdling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy mac and cheese.
