Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Baked chickpea pasta and cauliflower florets tossed in a velvety, protein-packed Greek yogurt cheese sauce until bubbly and golden.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
4 oz chicken breast
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with the olive oil.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so it remains al dente.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the cubed chicken breast in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and lightly browned.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet during the last 4 minutes of chicken cooking to steam them until just tender.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper to create a thick sauce.
Drain the pasta and toss it into the bowl with the chicken and cauliflower, stirring in the yogurt sauce until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the baking dish and bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the top has a beautiful golden hue.
