2 cups chopped frozen or fresh broccoli
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup (1.5 oz.) BUITONI Refrigerated Freshly Shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided

2 tablespoons bread crumbs

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Lightly grease 2 1/2-quart casserole dish.

COOK macaroni in large saucepan according to package directions, adding broccoli to boiling pasta water for last 3 minutes of cooking time; drain.

COMBINE cooked pasta, broccoli, cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, evaporated milk, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and black pepper in large bowl. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs; sprinkle over macaroni mixture. Cover tightly with foil.
