A good casserole can be a girl’s best friend. Do a little prep, pop it in the oven, and you and your family can eat for a week. But, so many casserole recipes are filed with an excess of ground meat, high-fat cheese, and calorie-laden carbs. A healthy, tasty, and satisfying casserole recipe can be hard to come by.
That’s why I was so excited to find this chickpea casserole recipe from Faith Durand’s new cookbook Not Your Mother’s Casseroles. This casserole gets flavor from fresh parsley and rosemary, a touch of tartness from fresh lemon juice, and just enough creaminess from yogurt and cottage cheese. Topped with bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, it has a crispy golden crust that will make this recipe a seasonal standby in no time.
