📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place pasta in microwave-safe bowl. Cover with 1 inch water, and add 2 teaspoons salt. Microwave, uncovered, until just tender, 4 to ⏱️ 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a 7- to 8-cup deep-sided baking dish. Stir in broccoli.
2
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until slightly steaming. Whisk in mustard until mixed. Add cheese, stirring constantly, until melted but slightly lumpy. Whisk in egg.

3
Preheat air fryer to at 350°F. Pour cheese sauce over pasta-broccoli mixture, stirring gently to combine. Cover dish with aluminum foil and place in air fryer basket. Cook until pasta is tender, 18 to ⏱️ 20 minutes.
4
Uncover dish and top with crushed cornflakes, pressing gently into surface of pasta mixture. (This prevents cornflakes from blowing around. If a few do, it shouldn't cause a problem.) Cook until browned, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes.
