Preparation
Roast the broccolini
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Remove the stem ends of the broccolini (halve lengthwise if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 12 to 14 min., until tender.
Boil the pasta
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring the milk, 2 cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt to a boil.
- Add the pasta and boil, stirring often, 12 to 14 min., until al dente and most of the liquid has reduced.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- To the pot, add 2 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp butter (double both for 4 portions), the cheddar, mustard (start with ½), ½ the Grana Padano and a pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 4 min., until the cheese has melted.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add 1 tbsp water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta and broccolini between your plates.
- Garnish with the remaining Grana Padano. Bon appétit!
