BROCCOLI AND PASTA CASSEROLES



Broccoli and Pasta Casseroles image

Using whole-wheat pasta and breadcrumbs boosts the fiber content of this crowd-pleaser and gives it an appealing nuttiness. Fat-free milk, part-skim ricotta, and a touch of sharp Parmesan lighten the casserole without sacrificing the taste or texture.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slices whole-wheat bread (1 ounce)
1 head broccoli (1 pound), cut into florets, stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces whole-wheat fusilli pasta
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion (5 ounces), finely chopped (about 1 cup)
3 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground mustard
4 cups skim milk
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, pureed
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (1 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose fresh broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Steam the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the casserole: Overmixing will make the casserole tough.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it set.

Conclusion:

Aunt Pat's Broccoli Casserole is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
