Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly grease a 2.5 quart baking dish. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta for 5-6 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and cook for an additional 1 minute. The pasta should be al dente, and the broccoli should be lightly blanched.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli, rinse under cold water, drain again, and set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the garlic, salt, basil, and oregano, and whisk to combine.
- Adjust the heat to low. While continuing to whisk, slowly pour in the heavy cream and broth. Continue whisking until wisps of steam begin to rise from the liquid. Then, add half the Gruyere and half the Parmesan cheese a little at a time, whisking between each addition until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the pasta, broccoli, and sauce to the prepared baking dish. Stir to combine. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. See post for storage options.

BAKED CHEESY PASTA WITH BROCCOLI
Broccoli and cheese make a great pair, especially in a baked pasta. You could substitute broccolini or broccoli rabe: Broccolini is slightly sweeter than broccoli, while broccoli rabe is pleasingly bitter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the panko, parsley, if using, thyme, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup (25 g) of the Parmesan, the lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a small skillet over medium-low heat, or in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour over the panko mixture, and toss to coat.
- Cook pasta in the boiling water for 2 minutes less than the al dente time indicated on the package. Add the broccoli and cook until it is crisp-tender and the pasta is al dente, about 2 minutes more. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, until the mixture begins to bubble, about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, about 1/3 cup (80 ml) at a time, whisking until smooth between additions. Bring to a simmer, whisking, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the mozzarella, remaining 1/2 cup (50 g) Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt, and whisk together until the cheese is mostly melted (the mozzarella may not fully incorporate into the sauce; this is okay).
- Add the pasta, broccoli, and lemon juice, if using, to the sauce and toss to combine. Dump into a large cast-iron skillet or 2-quart (2 L) baking dish and top with the bread crumb mixture.
- Bake until the pasta is bubbling and the bread crumbs are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken before serving.
