Butternut Squash Macaroni and Cheese
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea pasta are folded into a velvety butternut squash sauce for a comforting and nutrient-dense twist on a classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz chicken breast
1 cup butternut squash
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp low-sodium vegetable broth
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, then dice into cubes.
Place the steamed butternut squash, Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, onion powder, and vegetable broth into a blender.
Process on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles a creamy cheese sauce.
Pour the squash sauce into the pasta pot over low heat, adding the shredded cheddar and stirring until melted.
Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken to the pot, tossing gently to coat everything in the rich sauce.
