Protein-Packed Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Tender chickpea pasta and shredded chicken baked in a creamy, velvety cheese sauce made with sharp cheddar and Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
3 oz cooked shredded chicken breast
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe 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 to keep it al dente.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are fork-tender, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture.
Add the cooked pasta, steamed cauliflower, and shredded chicken to the bowl, tossing until everything is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are beginning to turn golden brown.
