Pasta casserole with broccoli
Ovendish with pasta
A delicious pasta dish from the oven with lots of vegetables in the form of broccoli, peas and a creamy sauce. Topped with crispy baked cheese.
Casseroles are, in my opinion, one of the easiest dishes for busy days. Yes it takes a while to cook in the oven but you can prepare it in advance and when it’s dinner time all you have to do is put it in the oven.
Just pre-cook
I always pre-cook the broccoli for this pasta oven dish. This is not strictly necessary, but if you don’t, the broccoli will remain very al dente. And although I also quite like raw broccoli, you don’t want that in this casserole.
So you pre-cook the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes. Assuming you have made beautiful small florets from the broccoli because large pieces take longer. However, you want small florets for this pasta casserole. So keep that in mind.
Then you also have to cook the pasta yourself, but otherwise, it is no more than putting everything together in the oven dish, sprinkle with a lot of grated cheese and in the oven!
