Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and tender chicken breast baked in a velvety cauliflower-cheddar sauce for a comforting meal with a satisfyingly golden crust.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
3 oz Chicken breast
1 cup Cauliflower florets
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Boil the chickpea pasta in a pot of salted water, draining it 2 minutes before the package instructions suggest to ensure it stays firm during baking.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are very tender, then transfer them to a high-speed blender.
Add the Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender and process until the sauce is completely smooth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken breast, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese with the creamy cauliflower sauce.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is lightly golden and crisp.
