High Protein Mac and Cheese

• 분량: Makes 1 serving: ~475 ca

재료

1/2 cup high protein pasta (I used banza elbows)

5 oz cup of cottage cheese (I used 2% good culture)

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional but adds a cheesy flavor)

1/2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch

Salt + pepper to taste

1/4 cup shredded cheese (I used white cheddar)

How to:

Boil water in a pot then cook pasta according to the directions on the box (mine took 8 minutes).

While the pasta is cooking, add the cottage cheese, milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch and a pinch of salt and pepper to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.

Drain the pasta, then add the cheese sauce to the pot and heat over very low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

Once the sauce has thickened stir in the shredded cheese until melted. Add the pasta back to the pot and gently stir.

Serve right away and enjoy! 🫶
