A creamy one-pot pasta dish with tender broccoli and a rich cheese sauce for a comforting yet wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz elbow macaroni (225 g)
3 cups broccoli florets (300 g)
2 cups low-sodium broth (480 ml)
1 cup milk (240 ml)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (15 ml)
2 cloves garlic (10 g), minced
1/2 teaspoon salt (2.5 g)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1 g)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110 g)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (55 g)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (25 g)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5 ml)

Instructions

  • Sauté garlic in olive oil in a large pot.

  • Add pasta, broth, milk, salt, and pepper; cook about 8 minutes.

  • Stir in broccoli and cook 4–5 minutes until tender.

  • Reduce heat and add cheeses and mustard, stirring until creamy.

  • Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Add a splash of milk when reheating to restore creaminess. Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
