Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Chickpea pasta baked in a creamy, protein-packed cheese sauce and topped with golden, toasted whole-grain breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
2 oz Cooked chicken breast
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Whole wheat breadcrumbs
0.5 tsp Olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions until al dente, then drain.
Place the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender and process until completely smooth and velvety.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Fold the cooked pasta and diced chicken breast into the cheese sauce until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish.
In a small bowl, toss the whole wheat breadcrumbs with olive oil and sprinkle them evenly over the pasta.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crisp.
