Buffalo Lentil Mac N' Cheese

The combination of buffalo, cheese, and pasta packs a punch for sure. It is a household favorite here. However, it is hard to find this delicacy for fewer than 500 calories, balanced macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats), and made with quality ingredients. Thanks to a dear friend, Nicole Roggow, this is no longer an issue! I slightly modified a recipe she created to make a creamy buffalo mac n’ cheese that has a great balance of macronutrients, tastes delicious, and is fairly easy to prepare. This recipe also uses lentil pasta, which is a great plant-based protein source! If you need more protein, feel free to top with shrimp or chicken.

 

Ingredients:

18 oz Red lentil rotini pasta (this is usually 2 boxes)

½ cup Franks buffalo wing sauce

8 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese

1 cup Low sodium chicken broth

1 tbsp Garlic powder

8 oz Part skim Mozzarella cheese


Directions:

1. Cook lentil pasta as directed on box.

2. While pasta cooks, prepare the sauce by adding the buffalo sauce, chicken broth, cream cheese, and garlic powder in a pan. Simmer over low-medium heat. Whisk frequently. Sauce is done once smooth and thick.

3. Strain pasta noodles and return to pan. Mix in buffalo sauce.

4. Fold in shredded cheese and keep over low heat until cheese is melted.

5. Serve hot!
