Creamy Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
This comforting dish reinvents the classic mac and cheese by swapping out some of the pasta for nutrient-rich cauliflower and infusing the sauce with a blend of low-fat milk and nonfat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. The result is a lighter version with a satisfying cheesy flavor and a smooth, velvety texture, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
75g Whole Wheat Elbow Pasta
150g Cauliflower
125ml Low-Fat Milk
1 ounce Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (122g)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender. Add low-fat milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the creamy cauliflower sauce back into a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the reduced-fat cheddar cheese until melted and the sauce is well combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, stirring gently to coat evenly. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your healthier, protein-packed twist on classic mac and cheese.
