Creamy High-Protein Mac and Cheese
A comforting twist on a classic favorite, this creamy high-protein mac and cheese uses chickpea pasta combined with a luscious blend of low-fat cottage cheese, egg whites, and reduced-fat cheddar to create a satisfying, nutrient-packed meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
3 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Nonfat Milk
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F if you prefer a baked finish.
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, egg whites, and nonfat milk until smooth. This mixture serves as the creamy sauce base.
Mix the blended sauce with the warm pasta in a large bowl. Stir in the reduced-fat cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
For a stovetop option, gently heat the mixture in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. For a baked option, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed twist on classic mac and cheese.
