This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more cheese and garlic next time.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli, but this dish was amazing! The cheese sauce was so flavorful and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.
