Cheesy broccoli pasta bake

Cheesy broccoli pasta bake

Ingredients

  • 200 g pasta shapes
  • 1 head broccoli, in small florets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 400 ml milk
  • 80 g mild cheddar, grated

Contains: Wheat, Milk

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in unsalted water; add the broccoli for the last 4 minutes. Drain.
  2. Melt the butter, stir in the flour, then whisk in the milk until thick. Stir in most of the cheese.
  3. Mix with the pasta and broccoli, top with the rest of the cheese, bake at 200 °C for 15 minutes.
Safety: Cool your child's portion — a bake holds heat for a long time.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: The bake that turns broccoli into something a toddler asks for. Cheese carries salt, so the pan needs none.
