Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Roast the broccoli
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) with a generous drizzle of oil, the panko, ½ the Grana Padano and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Step 2: Boil the pasta
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 8 to 10 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat 3 tbsp butter on medium.
- Add the spices and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until a paste forms.
- Add the milk and cook, whisking often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until thickened and no lumps remain.
- Add the cheddar and remaining Grana Padano.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the cheese has melted; season with S&P.
Step 4: Make the mac ’n’ cheese & serve
- To the pan, add the pasta and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until heated through and combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the mac ’n’ cheese between your bowls.
- Serve the broccoli on the side. Bon appétit!
