Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean turkey baked in a velvety cauliflower-cheese sauce for a comforting meal with a satisfyingly golden crust.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz chickpea pasta
2.5 oz 99% lean ground turkey
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, then transfer to a blender with the Greek yogurt, half of the cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and water.
Blend the cauliflower mixture until completely smooth and creamy to create your protein-packed cheese sauce.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and fully cooked through.
Combine the cooked pasta, turkey, and cauliflower sauce in the baking dish, stirring well to ensure every noodle is coated.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, then bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
