Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add pasta, and cook according to the directions on the box for 'al dente'. When you have 2 minutes left on your timer, add in the broccoli. Drain pasta and broccoli.

In the same pot, over medium heat, add in the butter and let melt. Add in the flour and spices and whisk until you have a paste (roux).

Add in the milk, whisk and let cook for 2 minutes or until thickened to a heavy cream consistency. Turn off the burner.

Add in the cheese, one handful at a time, stirring until melted. Continue until you have added in all of the cheese and it is smooth.

Add in the pasta and broccoli and gently stir until combined.

Serve and enjoy!
