Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, then drain.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add broccoli, season with salt, and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Cook until smooth and lightly golden.
- Gradually add milk while whisking. Cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Reduce heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine the drained pasta and broccoli with the cheese sauce, adding reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or red pepper flakes as desired.

Notes
Use fresh cheese for the best melting consistency and cook broccoli until slightly tender for a nice crunch.
