Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. If you are using fresh broccoli, blanch in hot salted water for 5 minutes, then drain. If you are using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it. Add the broccoli to the macaroni. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and add enough warm water to cover. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, cayenne, basil and salt. Add the milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add 3/4 cup of the Cheddar, then all of the Gruyere, and Gouda, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the cheeses are melted. Stir in the macaroni-broccoli mixture and the softened sun-dried tomatoes. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 3/4 cup Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 25 minutes.
LUNCH LADY DORIS'S SPICY MAC & CHEESE
Who said macaroni and cheese is just for kids? It may have been during our adolescent days in the lunchroom where we fell in love with this all-American comfort dish, but this is not the macaroni and cheese of your childhood! Our version includes savory veggies, a rich medley of grown-up cheeses, and just enough cayenne to take this simple comfort food to a new gourmet delight. Makes a complete meal on its own or is a great side for just about anything, but we suggest serving it with some creamy tomato soup. Delish!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or a blend of cheeses will give the mac and cheese a more flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Make sure to use a roux to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add some spice to the mac and cheese. This recipe calls for cayenne pepper, but you can also use paprika, chili powder, or any other spice that you like.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked vegetables, meat, or seafood to the mac and cheese to make it a more complete meal.
