Ingredients:

Quantity	Ingredients
340g	Spaghetti
2 cups	Fresh broccoli florets, chopped
2 tbsp	Olive oil
3	Garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp	All-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups	Milk (whole milk or 2%)
1 cup	Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup	Parmesan cheese, grated
To taste	Salt and pepper
	Red pepper flakes
For garnish	Fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Method

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. About 2-3 minutes before the spaghetti is done, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Drain the spaghetti and broccoli together and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to combine, until smooth and slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Add the drained spaghetti and broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the cheesy sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil
