Found this recipe in the magazine All You. Tore the page out and lost it! I found it today so now I am posting so I don't lose it again! Have not made this yet, but plan to once the weather gets cooler. Sounds like it would be really good on a cool day. Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked pasta |
6 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1 head broccoli, cut into florets, stalks peeled and sliced (about 3/4 pound) |
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups packed) |
pepper, to taste |
8 saltine crackers, crushed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring often, for 7 minutes.
3. Transfer 1 cup of pasta cooking water to a bowl. Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth.
4. Add broccoli to pasta in pot and continue cooking until pasta is al dente, about 4 more minutes.
5. Drain pasta and broccoli and return them to the pot. Add cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Season with pepper.
6. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
7. Mix crushed crackers with remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle on top of pasta.
8. Bake until top is golden and sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes.
