Creamy Golden Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Al dente chickpea pasta and tender shredded chicken tossed in a velvety, protein-packed cheese sauce and baked until bubbling and golden.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea pasta shells
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tbsp Fresh chives
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water according to package directions until just under al dente, then drain well.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt until a smooth sauce forms.
Fold the cooked pasta and shredded chicken into the yogurt mixture until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and a light dusting of smoked paprika for color and depth.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly crisp and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped chives.
