Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Al dente chickpea pasta and tender chicken breast baked in a velvety, sharp cheddar sauce with a hint of smoky paprika.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
4 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Greek yogurt
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Dijon mustard
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta and cauliflower florets together until both are tender.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water for the sauce.
While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into small cubes and sauté in a non-stick pan until golden and cooked through.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, and all spices until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Toss the cooked pasta and sautéed chicken with the cauliflower cream sauce, adding the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, then serve immediately.
