INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (113g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 cup Broccoli (90g)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, steam broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the pasta to the pot over low heat and stir in the blended cheese sauce until the pasta is evenly coated.
Mix in the steamed broccoli and gently stir to combine.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly as you stir.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, high-protein mac n cheese with a nutritious side of broccoli.
