Ingredients

  • 2 cups pasta
  • 140 g greek yogurt
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Spices to taste

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Begin by cooking 2 cups of pasta according to the directions on the box.

Ensure the pasta is cooked to al dente for the best texture.

Once cooked, drain the pasta thoroughly.

Step 2: Combine Pasta and Yogurt

Return the drained pasta to the hot pot.

Turn off the burner, but leave the pot on the warm stove to maintain heat.

Add 140 grams of Greek yogurt to the pasta and stir to combine.

Step 3: Add and Melt the Cheese

Add 8 ounces of cheddar cheese to the pot.

Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese melts and becomes fully incorporated with the pasta and yogurt, creating a creamy, cheesy sauce.

Step 4: Season and Serve

Once the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, season the mac and cheese with your favorite spices to taste, if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Greek yogurt mac and cheese.
