Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and lean chicken breast folded into a creamy, velvety cheese sauce and baked until bubbling and golden.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea elbow pasta
3 oz cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
0.13 tsp paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with a touch of olive oil.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest to ensure it stays firm during baking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture.
Fold the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast into the sauce until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and a dash of paprika over the top for color.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
