Ingredients:

Serving

cooking spray
2 1/2 cups gemelli pasta, uncooked
1/8 tsp table salt , for pasta cooking water
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 tsp butter
1/3 cup fresh breadcrumb
3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated divided
2 1/2 cups skim milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded and sharp variety
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp table salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Remove from heat and whisk in Cheddar cheese, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Pour over cooked, drained pasta and broccoli; toss to mix and coat.
Transfer to a baking dish and sprinkle top evenly with bread crumb mixture. Bake until bubbly at edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
