PREPARATION

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water according to package directions, draining one minute early to ensure a firm texture after baking.
3
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, approximately 8 minutes.
4
In a high-speed blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, cottage cheese, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until completely smooth.
5
In a medium bowl, fold together the cooked pasta, diced chicken breast, and the blended cauliflower-cheese sauce until the pasta is thoroughly coated.
6
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
7
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling and golden.
