Recipe Thursday

Broccoli Mac 'n' Cheese (courtesy of Parents.com)

1-1/2
cups dry multigrain or whole-grain elbow pasta (I used mini piccolini pasta)
1
cup chopped broccoli
1/2
cup low-fat milk
1/4
cup low-sodium chicken broth
1
Tbs. all-purpose flour
1
cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/2
cup shredded American cheese

Cook pasta according to the package directions, adding broccoli during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and return to the pan; cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, broth, and flour. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Mix cheeses into sauce, cook just until melted.

Toss the cooked pasta and broccoli with cheese sauce.
