3/4 lb whole wheat penne or 3/4 lb whole wheat ziti |
8 cups fresh broccoli florets |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 2/3 cups skim milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and broccoli are tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain; return the broccoli and pasta to the pot.
3. While the pasta and broccoli are cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and mustard; cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and salt. Increase the heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens, 3-4 minutes.
