Easy Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese: A Creamy Twist on a Classic Comfort Food

As the weather cools down, there's nothing quite like a warm, comforting bowl of macaroni and cheese to satisfy our cravings. But for those with gluten intolerance or sensitivity, traditional recipes can be off-limits. Fear not! This easy gluten-free mac and cheese recipe is here to save the day.

The key to this creamy, cheesy sauce lies in its main ingredient: Greek yogurt. Rich in protein and with a tangy flavor, it adds a depth of taste that's hard to replicate with traditional sauces. And the best part? It's incredibly easy to make.

To get started, cook your gluten-free pasta according to the package directions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the water you cooked the pasta in – we'll need it later. While the pasta is cooking, mix together plain Greek yogurt, sharp cheddar cheese, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Once your pasta is done, add it back into the pot with the reserved water and stir until well combined. Then, pour in the yogurt-cheese mixture and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Add any extra fixings you like – we're fans of adding frozen broccoli, shredded chicken, or even some crunchy breadcrumbs.

The result is a protein-packed, gluten-free macaroni and cheese that's not only delicious but also surprisingly quick to make. With under 20 minutes from start to finish, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekend lunches.

So why not give it a try? With its creamy sauce, comforting flavors, and ease of preparation, this gluten-free Greek Yogurt Mac and Cheese is sure to become a new favorite in your household. And who knows – you might just find yourself obsessed with making it too!
