INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni
1/2 cup shredded low-fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Milk
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup chopped Broccoli
1/4 cup low-fat plain Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole wheat elbow macaroni in lightly salted water until it's al dente. Drain well.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine nonfat milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and egg white. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Combine the cooked pasta, chopped broccoli, and cheese sauce in a bowl. Mix well to evenly coat the pasta and broccoli with sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
