How to Make Baked Tubini With Roasted Chicken And Three Cheeses
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Add broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
- While pasta cooks, prepare the cheese sauce: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbly. Slowly whisk in milk and broth, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thick, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
- Drain the cooked pasta and broccoli; rinse with 1 cup of cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, broccoli, cheese sauce, and shredded chicken.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella, parmesan, and blue cheese crumbles evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
