Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta baked in a velvety sauce of blended cottage cheese and sharp cheddar, finished with a crisp, golden parmesan crust.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 cup steamed cauliflower florets
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions until al dente, then drain.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, steamed cauliflower, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy to create a nutrient-dense cheese sauce base.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the blended sauce and half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar, parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the top has developed a beautiful golden color.
