Baked Macaroni and Cheese Casserole
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast baked in a velvety, hidden-cauliflower cheese sauce for a comforting and creamy meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz chicken breast
1 cup cauliflower florets
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest, then drain and set aside.
Steam the cauliflower florets until very soft, then transfer them to a blender with the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the cauliflower mixture until completely smooth and creamy to create your sauce.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast with the cauliflower sauce and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish.
Top the casserole with the remaining cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a savory finish.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling.
