How To Make mac and cheese broccoli bake

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding the broccoli florets 2 minutes before draining. Drain all and set aside.

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter. Add flour and whisk over medium heat. Pour in milk slowly, whisking well until incorporated and smooth (it will be thick at first). Add minced onion, cayenne pepper, white pepper and salt. Gradually add cheddar and half of the Parmesan cheese, whisking until incorporated.
Step 3

Add pasta and broccoli to cheese sauce. Pour into casserole dish. Mix together remaining cheese, breadcrumbs, remaining butter (melted), and parsley. Top the pasta mixture with this mixture.
Step 4

Bake uncovered in a preheated 350º oven for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
