📝 Preparation Steps
1
Sauté the garlic. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about ⏱️ 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
2
Toast the pasta. Add the dry pasta and stir for about 30–⏱️ 60 seconds so it soaks up the garlicky oil.

3
Simmer in broth. Pour in the broth and stir in the Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just slightly under al dente and about 70% of the liquid has been absorbed. The mixture should still look loose and brothy.

Add light creaminess. Lower the heat and stir in the milk, cheddar, and Parmesan. Stir gently until the cheeses melt into the broth without thickening it too much.
5
Add the veggies. Stir in the broccoli. Cook for 1–⏱️ 2 minutes, just until the broccoli is heated through and tender.
6
Finish & serve. Taste and season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Serve warm, with an extra twist of black pepper.
