Healthy meets Mac and Cheese. Yum.
Ingredients
  • 1/3 pkg rotini rice pasta (or whatever kind of pasta you prefer)
  • 1 C cheese (I like a combination of Gruyere, Cheddar and Parmesan)
  • 1 C milk
  • 1-2 T olive oil
  • 1-2 T flour
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, diced
  • 1 T spicy brown or dijon mustard
  • 3-5 T greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 C puréed Great Northern, or any type of white beans
  • 1/2 to 1 C puréed cauliflower (steam cauliflower, about 1/2 head raw; then puree)
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta, reserving 1/4 C to 1/2 C of the pasta water.
  2. Make sauce: Heat pan, add oil, add onions, salt and pepper, and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1-2 minutes.
  3. Move veggies over to one side, and whisk flour in with oil on the other (adding more oil if needed). Cook 30-60 seconds. Add milk, slowly, whisking and letting it thicken a bit as you do. Add mustard, beans, cauliflower and pasta water (as much or as little water as you need). Slowly heat, bringing almost to a boil (stop when you start to see steam rising).
  4. Turn off heat and whisk in cheese.

Notes

If you don’t have any leftover mashed potatoes, chop up 3-4 potatoes and add with the rest of the veggies!

Of course this would be great with bacon on top too! 🙂
