Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Breadcrumbs
Tender chickpea pasta folded into a creamy, protein-packed Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar sauce, topped with golden, crispy whole wheat breadcrumbs.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh baby spinach
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
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fold the cooked pasta and baby spinach into the yogurt mixture, adding the reserved pasta water to create a velvety sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe baking dish.
In a small ramekin, toss the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil and smoked paprika.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the pasta and bake for 10 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
