Directions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Cook macaroni for 1 minute less than al dente according to the package directions. Add broccoli 3 minutes before the macaroni is finished. Drain macaroni and broccoli and return to the pot.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl, mix with 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, and set aside
- In the same saucepan, whisk together milk and flour until blended, then add onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently.
