Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Penne
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 3 1/2 cups Milk (I used 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese divided
  • 4 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
  • 3 cups Broccoli Florets (small)
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the penne according to the package directions in a large pot of boiling water. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until it is lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until it is incorporated and smooth.
  • Add the thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese, and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Reduce the heat to a low simmer until the pasta is ready.
  • Toss together the cooked penne, chicken, broccoli, and Alfredo sauce, and transfer everything to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, and the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese on top of the pasta.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
