INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 cup Chopped Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, low-fat milk, and reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese mixture ensuring even coating.
In a separate bowl, toss the chopped broccoli with olive oil and minced garlic.
Spread the broccoli evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Transfer the macaroni mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Top with the roasted broccoli by gently mixing them in or spreading them on top.
Bake the combined dish in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
