Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta baked in a creamy, protein-rich cheese sauce made with blended cottage cheese and sharp cheddar, finished with a golden, bubbly crust.
INGREDIENTS
2.5 oz Chickpea pasta
0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
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 your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest so it remains firm.
While the pasta cooks, place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper into a blender and process until completely smooth.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, then pour the blended cheese sauce over it and stir in half of the shredded sharp cheddar.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar and smoked paprika evenly across the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly golden and bubbly.
