Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast baked in a velvety Greek yogurt and cheddar sauce, lightened with steamed cauliflower for a comforting, golden finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
3.5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 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.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, then place them in a high-speed blender with the Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the cauliflower mixture until completely smooth and creamy to create your nutrient-dense cheese sauce base.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded or diced cooked chicken breast, and the cauliflower sauce until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and dust with smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden.
