Remove from the heat and stir in nutritional yeast (or cheese). My two little girls like their Mac and cheese a bit saucy so we added a little more milk, and also added chicken. We also put the broccoli in the strainer with the pasta to steam it a bit (we like a bit of crisp to the broccoli too) before putting it in the pan based on the advice of another comment, and it was perfect. This delicious baked macaroni & cheese with broccoli is a healthy make-over of the classic casserole. With its crunchy golden brown breadcrumb topping and uber-creamy cheese sauce you won't miss a thing.
