Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil on a large rimmed sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes until charred and tender.
While the broccoli roasts, boil the elbow macaroni in salted water until just al dente, then drain.
In a saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour for 1 minute, slowly add the milk while whisking until thickened, then remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta and roasted broccoli with the cheese sauce, spread into a thin layer on the sheet pan, and bake for 10 minutes until the edges are browned and bubbling.
