Preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C(fan)/375°F/Gas 5.
Put 280 g Fusilli pasta into a pan of boiling water and simmer for 10-12 minutes until it still has a little bit of bite to it.
Make 6 servings Cheese sauce.
Add 1 head Broccoli to the pasta about 3 minutes before the pasta is finished cooking. You don't want to overcook the broccoli, as it will become mushy once baked.
Drain the pasta and then add the cheese sauce and mix well. Put the mixture into a large baking dish.
Sprinkle with 40 g Golden breadcrumbs and extra cheese (optional) and then put into the oven for 15 minutes until the top starts to crisp up.
Notes
It is important not to fully cook the pasta, as it will continue cooking when it goes in to the oven. If it is fully cooked before it goes in to the oven then it might become mushy.
For a really smooth cheese sauce, sieve your flour first and make sure to continuously whisk the sauce as it is cooking.
If you want to give a kick of spice to this pasta bake, then add a pinch of red chilli flakes to it.
You don't have to cook this in the oven. You could heat everything on the hob for a few minutes once it is mixed together and then put it under the grill to melt the cheese and make it go crispy.
Feel free to use different types of pasta if you already have some in your cupboard.
Try to avoid using pre-grated cheese. This is because they tend to add anti-caking agents and this will change the consistency of the sauce and it will be too gritty and not as melty.
If you want to get this dish really crispy, then put it under the grill for a couple of minutes before serving.
Why not try roasting the broccoli before mixing it in to the pasta bake - it will get nice and crispy.
