Ingredients

  • 4 ounces medium noodles
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli spears
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/3 cup slivered toasted almonds*

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.

  2. Cook noodles following package directions; drain. Cook broccoli just until tender.

  3. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter; blend in flour, salt, prepared mustard, and pepper.

  4. Stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened; remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Dice broccoli stalks; leave flowerets intact.
