Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Al dente chickpea pasta and lean ground turkey tossed in a velvety, protein-rich cheese sauce and baked until the golden crust is perfectly bubbly.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Chickpea pasta elbows
3.5 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)
0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.33 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
1 cup Baby spinach
0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions to keep it al dente.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the ground turkey until fully browned and cooked through.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until completely smooth and creamy.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, then stir in the cooked turkey, baby spinach, and the blended cheese sauce until the spinach begins to wilt.
Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish and sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese and smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and bubbly.
