Tender chickpea pasta and roasted chicken breast are folded into a velvety cottage cheese sauce and baked until the golden cheddar topping bubbles.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
3 oz Cooked chicken breast
0.25 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
2 tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.13 tsp Sea salt
0.13 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Place the cottage cheese, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper into a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.
In a small oven-safe baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken breast, and steamed broccoli.
Pour the blended cottage cheese sauce over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and smoked paprika over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes until the sauce is heated through and the cheese on top has melted and turned golden.
