PREPARATION

  • 1

    Steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 8-10 minutes.

  • 2

    While the cauliflower steams, cook the whole wheat elbow pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

  • 3

    In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the dry mustard powder and lightly toast for 30 seconds to release flavors.

  • 4

    Place the steamed cauliflower in a blender along with the almond milk, olive oil with mustard, nonfat Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until extremely smooth and creamy.

  • 5

    Pour the blended sauce into a medium bowl and stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  • 6

    Combine the cheese-cauliflower sauce with the cooked pasta, mixing well to coat all the noodles.

  • 7

    Serve warm, and enjoy a lighter take on a classic mac and cheese dish that balances creaminess with a boost of protein.
