Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat the oven broiler to high and boil a large pot of salted water to cook the macaroni until al dente, draining and setting aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, toss the broccoli florets with vegetable oil and roast over medium-high heat until charred and tender, about 6 minutes, then remove from the pan.
In the same skillet, melt the butter, whisk in the flour for 1 minute, slowly pour in the milk while whisking until thickened, then stir in the cheddar cheese until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta and charred broccoli into the sauce, spread evenly in the skillet, and place under the broiler for 3 minutes until the surface is bubbly and slightly browned.
