INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Steamed Broccoli
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and part-skim mozzarella cheese. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
Mix in the cooked macaroni and gently fold in the steamed broccoli.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
In a small bowl, toss the whole wheat breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the mac mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the topping is crispy and golden and the cheesy mixture is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
