Chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety cauliflower-cheese sauce and baked until bubbling and golden for a clean comfort meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 cup steamed cauliflower florets
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small individual-sized baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it al dente.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, steamed cauliflower, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Blend on high until the sauce is completely smooth and velvety in texture.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, then stir in the blended sauce and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar and panko breadcrumbs.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling.
