Ingredients

elbow macaroni
8 oz
salted butter
2 tbsp
all-purpose flour
2 tbsp
2% milk
2 c
Dijon mustard
1 tsp
Salt and pepper
cheddar cheese
1 c
gruyere cheese

Directions

1
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Steam the broccoli on top of the pasta pot for 1–2 minutes. Drain the pasta well and blanch the broccoli.
2
In another large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, then add the flour to make the roux. Whisk the flour and butter until combined and golden, about 2 minutes.

Gradually whisk in the milk. Add the Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer, occasionally whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5–7 minutes.

Stir in the cheese, then fold in the pasta and broccoli. Serve immediately.
