- Warm sauce in a saucepan until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Fold pasta and broccoli into sauce until every piece is coated evenly.
- Serve hot, or bake briefly for firmer assembly handling and crisp edges.
Notes
For softer texture, cook broccoli longer and add extra milk. For crispy tops, bake with breadcrumbs 10 minutes. Freeze cooled portions airtight up to 1 month. Rest baked servings before scooping for easier handling. Customize with garlic, chili flakes, or mustard. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days.
