Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 ½ tablespoons cold butter
1 head broccoli
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ¼ cups milk
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Mix flour, bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and five-spice powder together in a bowl. Cut in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter using your fingers until mixture resembles pebbles. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Cut the stem off the broccoli and use a spiralizer to cut into ribbons. Cut the head into florets.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add cornstarch, pepper, and nutmeg; mix well until roux begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add milk, stirring continuously, and continue to cook until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes more. Mix in 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Stir in broccoli until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour mixture into a baking dish.
Top mixture with remaining Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over the top. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until the crumble has browned and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

1 (14.5 ounce) jar Barilla® Garlic Alfredo Sauce
6 cups bite-size broccoli florets
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) box Barilla® Linguine
⅔ cup coarsely chopped roasted, salted pistachios
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place broccoli on the sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt; roast 15 to 18 minutes or until tender; set aside.

Tips:

Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly and make them easier to eat.
Steam or roast the broccoli: Steaming or roasting are the best ways to cook broccoli to preserve its nutrients and flavor. Avoid boiling, as this can make the broccoli mushy.
Make the crumble topping ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish. The crumble topping can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use a variety of cheeses in the crumble topping: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
Serve the broccoli crumble hot: This is when it is at its best. Broccoli crumble can be served as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Broccoli crumble is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. With its cheesy, crunchy topping and tender broccoli, broccoli crumble is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
