INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch each of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir in the low-fat cheddar cheese until well combined. Then, fold in the cooked macaroni ensuring every piece is coated with the creamy mixture.
Transfer the macaroni mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the mixture is set.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
