    Penne w/Chicken Broccoli & Three Cheeses


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup milk
    1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
    1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Salt and pepper to taste
    8 ounces penne rigate or similar pasta
    2 cups frozen broccoli florets
    2-3 cups skinned and boned cooked chicken, torn into large pieces
    1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

    Recipe



    Melt the butter in a saucepan; stir in the flour until well blended.
    Gradually stir in the milk and broth and cook, stirring constantly,
    over low heat until mixture is smooth and comes to a boil, about 8
    minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan;
    remove from heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions for
    al dente or about 10 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook about 2
    minutes more. Drain well and rinse with a little cold water to stop
    the cooking. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Combine the pasta, broccoli,
    cheese sauce and chicken; spread in a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
    Drop pieces of blue cheese on top and tuck into the pasta with your
    fingers. Sprinkle the surface with the remaining mozzarella and
    Parmesan. Bake until top is golden and mixture is bubbly, about 25
    minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Leftovers reheat well in
    the microwave.
