Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Chickpea pasta and tender shredded chicken baked in a creamy, velvety cottage cheese sauce with a golden cheddar crust.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea elbow pasta
1.75 oz cooked shredded chicken breast
0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.25 cup skim milk
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup broccoli florets
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water according to package directions, draining 2 minutes early so it remains al dente.
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Place the cottage cheese, skim milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender and process until completely smooth.
In a small oven-safe baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and steamed broccoli.
Pour the blended cheese sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Top the dish with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted into a golden crust.
