Serving Size:Â 4-6
Prep Time:Â 10 Minutes
Cook Time:Â 30 Minutes
Total Time:Â 40 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb. Pappardelle's Garlic Lovers' Lumache Blend
3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 lb. frozen baby broccoli florets
2-½ cups whole milk
1 tsp. mustard powder
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions:Â
- Toss together Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch over and toss again until cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
- Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until about half of the water has been absorbed and pasta is very al dente, about 7-9 minutes.Â
- Add broccoli florets and milk to the pot and return to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until pasta and broccoli are both tender but not mushy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and mix in mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Add reserved cheese mixture, a handful at a time, stirring after each addition until mostly melted before adding more. Remove pot from heat. Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
- Let sit, stirring occasionally, until cheese sauce has thickened slightly, about 5–10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
