4. Continue until all milk has been added.

5. Return to low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring often.

6. Stir through grated cheese to melt.

7. Add tomato paste and mix well, then remove from heat.

8. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until nearly cooked.

9. Add broccoli to pasta and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the pasta and broccoli are cooked.

• Use green beans, cauliflower, peas or corn instead of broccoli. Fresh or frozen will work fine.
