INGREDIENTS
50g Whole-Wheat Elbow Macaroni
1 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Mixed Vegetables
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole-wheat elbow macaroni in boiling water until just al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, warm olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the whole wheat flour to create a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the low-fat milk and bring to a simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the low-fat cheddar cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt until a creamy sauce forms; season with salt and pepper.
Fold in the mixed vegetables and cooked macaroni, ensuring an even coating with the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
