"This cheese-and-veggie-packed pasta side dish always brings compliments. Add chicken or shrimp, and you'll have a well-balanced entree," Lisa Csiki of North Windham, Connecticut suggests. "The tasty white sauce can be used on many foods. My husband even likes it spooned over eggs!"

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but this dish was amazing! The cheese sauce was so good that I could have eaten it by itself. I will definitely be making this again.
