Ingredients

• 2 lbs broccolini
• 2 1/2 cups water
• salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 shredded provolone cheese

Directions

1. Adjust over rack to upper-middle position and heat broiler.

2. Trim the bottom inch off the broccolini. Bring a medium pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the broccolini to the pot, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the broccolini to a paper towel-lined baking dish and set aside. Reserve 1 cup of the broccolini water and drain the rest.

3. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in the broccolini water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and, whisk in 1/2 cup Parmesan and the provolone until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

4. Transfer the broccolini to a baking dish and drizzle sauce over the center of the stalks. Top with the remaining Parmesan. Transfer the baking dish into the oven and broil until cheese is golden and broccolini is tender, 6-8 minutes. Serve immediately.
