Prep 10 min · Cook 20 min

Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea macaroni for 2 minutes less than the package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, place the cottage cheese, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender.
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no curds remain.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot, then stir in the blended cheese sauce and the chopped baby spinach until the greens are slightly wilted.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and smoked paprika over the top, and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
