Enjoy a comforting bowl of pasta bake that brings together tender cauliflower florets, whole wheat pasta, and a creamy, cheesy sauce. This dish is a satisfying blend of textures and flavors, featuring a delightful mix of tangy Greek yogurt and rich low-fat cheeses, warmed with garlic and herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower (107g)
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (113g)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Steam or microwave the florets until they are just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, cooked pasta, low-fat cottage cheese, part-skim mozzarella, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and your choice of dried herbs (such as basil or oregano) to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra herbs or a tiny bit more mozzarella on top for a bubbly finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and the mixture is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before serving.
