📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare pasta in salted water according to directions listed on package, adding in broccoli during last ⏱️ 5 minutes of boiling pasta (so they will both boil together during last ⏱️ 5 minutes, then drain them together. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water just in case you want to thin sauce, I didn't use it but I always save some just in case).
cups milk (preferably 1%)1 3/4cup (1.5 oz) finely shredded parmesan, plus more for serving1/2
2
In a large and deep skillet or pot, melt butter over medium heat then add in garlic and flour and cook ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring constantly.

While whisking slowly pour milk into flour mixture, then cook, whisking vigorously to smooth lumps until mixture begins to thicken. Add in cream cheese and parmesan and whisk until melted (it will look lumpy at first but will begin to smooth).
