INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Macaroni (approx. 140g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk (approx. 122g)
1/3 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (approx. 70g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (approx. 28g)
1 large Egg White (approx. 33g)
1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard Powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat macaroni until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, part-skim mozzarella, and egg white. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in dry mustard powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the dairy mixture.
Fold in the cooked macaroni until all noodles are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Transfer the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the dish is set.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the creamy texture.
