Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups skim milk
3 dashes hot red-pepper sauce
1 1/4 cups grated part-skim mozzarella (about 5 3/4 ounces)
1 pound cooked broccoli florets and stems (see Micro Tip)

Steps:

  • Mix cornstarch, curry powder and salt in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Pour in a little of the milk and stir until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Stir in remaining milk. Cover tightly with lid or microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 4 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
  • Remove from oven and uncover. Scrape corners and bottom of dish with a wooden spoon. Whisk well to dissolve any lumps. Cover, return to oven and cook for 3 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
  • Remove from oven and uncover. Whisk in red pepper sauce and 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Scrape sauce into a large bowl. Stir in broccoli. Put mixture in an oval dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Cook, covered with plastic, for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam. Uncover and stir. Re-cover and cook for 7 minutes. Prick plastic. While broccoli is cooking, preheat broiler.
  • Remove dish from oven and uncover. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Run a small knife around the inside edge of the dish to prevent sticking. Put dish under broiler until cheese browns, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheese sauce turned out grainy. The broccoli was fine though.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or a different type of cheese.

The cheese sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the broccoli was cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would probably make some adjustments next time.
