Baked chickpea pasta and shredded chicken are tossed in a velvety, protein-packed cheese sauce and finished with a golden, bubbling crust.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup Steamed cauliflower florets
2 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
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 salted water until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, steamed cauliflower, almond milk, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and the blended cauliflower-cheese sauce.
Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, topping with the remaining cheddar and a dusting of smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
