Creamy Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and shredded chicken are folded into a velvety, protein-packed cottage cheese sauce and baked until the golden cheddar topping is perfectly bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz dry chickpea pasta
2.5 oz cooked chicken breast
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup broccoli florets
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the dry chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it firm.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Blend the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and almond milk until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and steamed broccoli in a bowl, then stir in the blended cheese sauce until well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish and top evenly with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese has melted into a delicious golden crust.
