Creamy Three-Cheese Mac with Crispy Bacon
Simmered chickpea pasta shells swirled in a velvety three-cheese sauce and finished with smoky, crispy bacon for a decadent and protein-packed comfort bowl.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea pasta
2 slices Center-cut bacon
2 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Low-fat cream cheese
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh chives
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat a small skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are perfectly crispy.
Remove bacon to a paper towel to drain, then chop into small pieces once cooled.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drain the pasta, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water, and return the pasta to the warm pot over low heat.
Stir in the cheese mixture, cooked chicken breast, and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly until the sauce is melted and creamy.
Divide the mac and cheese into bowls and top each serving with the crispy bacon bits and fresh chives.
