Ingredients:
3/4 pound medium pasta shells (about 5 cups) |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups whole milk |
2 cups coarsely grated cheddar or gruyère (8 ounces) |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
kosher salt and black pepper |
1 16-ounce bag frozen broccoli florets, thawed |
Directions:
1. Heat broiler. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Add the pasta and broccoli and toss to combine. Transfer to a broilerproof 8-inch square or another 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1⁄2 cup of cheese. Broil until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
