One-Pan High Protein Cheesy Gluten Free Pasta Bake

By McKenna Ruzga
High-protein cheesy pasta bake
This savory, protein-packed dish has all the mac n cheesy vibes, but it's actually packed with protein! And bonus - it's made in a loaf pan for easy slicing. It's great for meal prep and satisfying enough to stand alone or pair with a side salad or veggies.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Taste Republic Gluten-Free Red Lentil Fusilli
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cook Red Lentil Fusilli according to package instructions.
  2. In a loaf pan, combine cooked pasta, cottage cheese, eggs, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  4. Let cool slightly, then slice into equal portions. Serve and enjoy!
