Ingredients

  • 300 g penne pasta
  • 300 g broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta, adding the broccoli for the final 4-5 mins and cooking until tender. Drain, and pour into a 9×13 casserole dish. Preheat your broiler to high.
  • Heat the butter in the same saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 min, then gradually add the milk, stirring well between each addition. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer for 2 mins, before stirring in the mustard and half the cheese.
  • Mix the sauce into the pasta mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pasta mixture and broil on high for 3-4 mins until golden and bubbling.
