High-Protein Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and lean ground turkey baked in a creamy cauliflower-cheese sauce, finished with a golden, bubbly layer of sharp cheddar.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea pasta
3 oz 99% lean ground turkey
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Cauliflower florets
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tsp Dijon mustard
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water according to package directions, adding the cauliflower florets for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
While the pasta cooks, brown the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crumbly.
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
In a blender or using a masher, combine the steamed cauliflower, Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta and turkey with the cauliflower sauce, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
