Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and lean turkey baked in a velvety Greek yogurt and cheddar sauce, infused with aromatic turmeric for a vibrant golden hue.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta shells
4 oz 93% lean ground turkey
0.5 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp Dijon mustard
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted water, adding the cauliflower florets for the final 3 minutes of cooking.
While the pasta boils, brown the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, reserving 2 tablespoons of the starchy cooking water before discarding the rest.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and the reserved pasta water until smooth.
Combine the cooked pasta, cauliflower, and turkey in the skillet or a small baking dish, then pour the yogurt sauce over the top.
Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until everything is evenly coated in the golden sauce.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and perfectly toasted.
