Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and tender chicken breast baked in a velvety blended cottage cheese sauce, finished with a golden cheddar crust for a comforting, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea pasta
0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
2 oz Cooked chicken breast
1 cup Broccoli florets
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water according to package directions, adding the broccoli florets during the last 2 minutes of cooking; drain well.
While the pasta cooks, place the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender.
Blend the sauce ingredients until completely smooth and creamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, diced cooked chicken breast, and the blended cheese sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese on top has melted into a golden crust.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
