Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Boil the pasta in a large pan to pack instructions, adding the broccoli for the last 4 mins of cooking. Drain, reserving 200ml cooking water.
- Return the pasta and broccoli to the pan; add the soup. Use the pasta water to rinse out the tin and add that too. Stir over a medium heat for 1-2 mins. Mix the grated cheeses; add 150g to the pan. Stir until the cheese has melted; don’t worry if the mozzarella gets stringy. Cook for 2 mins until the cheese is melted and the mixture is bubbling.
- Season, then spoon into a large ovenproof dish. Top with the breadcrumbs and the reserved 50g grated cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden and the sauce is bubbling. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
