Description

A riff on a simple Italian dish, except made with broccoli instead of pasta.

Ingredients
  • 3 heads broccoli
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Quarter broccoli heads lengthwise and add to the boiling water; simmer for 3 minutes. Drain.
  3. 3. Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, pepper, and salt.
  4. 4. Transfer drained broccoli to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour sauce on top.
  5. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Broil until top starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
