Ethnicity:
Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 pound Whole wheat or whole grain penne with lines
2 package broccolini, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths or 1 large head broccoli, trimme
4 tbsp butter
2 clove garlic
3 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups extra-sharp yellow cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup chives, chopped or 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
Directions:
Pre-heat the broiler.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente, according to the package directions (about 10-12 minutes total, depending on the brand). When the pasta has been cooking for a couple of minutes, add the broccolini or broccoli to the water and finish cooking everything together, 8 minutes more.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the stock and milk. Let the sauce thicken to coat the back of a spoon; stir in 2 cups of cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Drain the pasta and broccoli and toss with the sauce. Adjust the seasonings, to taste. Place in a large casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese and chives or scallions, then place under the broiler to bubble and brown the top.
