Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Bake
Oven-baked chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety cottage cheese sauce and finished with a smoky layer of crispy turkey bacon.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 slice Turkey bacon
1.5 oz Cooked chicken breast
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the package directions to ensure it stays firm during baking.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are just tender and bright green.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and almond milk until the sauce is completely silky.
In a large mixing bowl, fold together the cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, diced chicken breast, and the blended cheese sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped turkey bacon.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bacon bits are perfectly crisp.
