Steps:

Bake until pasta is tender when poked with a fork, and cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes.

• COMBINE: Add the following ingredients in this order to the pan: uncooked pasta, flour (sprinkled evenly on top), seasonings (mustard, onion, and garlic powder), and salt/pepper to taste (I add 3/4 tsp of each), minced garlic, chicken broth/stock, milk, and butter (cut into 2 pieces). Stir well. Top with coarsely chopped broccoli. Cover pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar on top. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender and the top is golden brown (don't overbake or sauce will bake out).
