BROCCOLI AND PASTA CASSEROLES
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.

CHEESY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
In this casserole, a homemade cheese sauce that's good enough to toss with pasta replaces the canned creamed soup. When you mix in broccoli florets and cooked rice, then top the whole thing with crushed crackers and more Cheddar, you get a gooey holiday side with a crisp top. Use white or orange Cheddar or a mix of the 2, aiming for a range of 4 to 5 cups, based on how rich and cheesy you'd like it. And while this does contain a lot of broccoli, you'll probably want to serve a salad on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes over medium heat. When melted, add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook until scallions have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour streaks are slightly golden in color, then add the milk in a slow stream, stirring continuously.
- Continue to stir the milk until the mixture is thick and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring vigorously to melt it down into a smooth sauce. Taste and season with salt.
- Add the cooked rice and parboiled broccoli to the pot and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup grated cheese, Ritz crackers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling. For more color, cook under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will give the casserole a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli.
- Cook the broccoli until it is tender but still has a little bit of crunch: This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
- Use a combination of cheeses: This will give the casserole a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is best for this casserole. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and bland.
- Make sure the casserole is bubbly and hot before serving: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the casserole is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Two-cheese pasta and broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta and broccoli. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender broccoli, and al dente pasta, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
