Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss Roasted Broccoli ingredients on a sheet pan; roast for 15 minutes until edges are charred. Set aside.
Boil Macaroni and Cheese pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions for al dente. Drain and reserve.
In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar until smooth.
Fold the broccoli and pasta into the sauce, transfer to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
