This is a recipe I adapted from Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook about sneaking healthy food into recipes. It uses pureed chickpeas to thicken the cheese sauce as opposed to butter and flour. It comes together in a flash and is adaptable to many different diets. I serve it over gluten free pasta. Ingredients:
1 cup skim milk |
1/2 cup canned chick-peas, drained and rinsed |
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 pinch cayenne |
Directions:
1. Puree milk and beans together in a blender or food processor.
2. Add to a greased pot.
3. Cook 1-2 minutes over medium heat until mixture is creamy.
4. Add cheese and cook until melted and sauce has slightly thickened.
5. Add spices.
6. Stir until combined.
7. Serve over your favorite pasta.
