Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. (25 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella.
If you don't have frozen broccoli, fresh broccoli florets can be used. Just increase the cooking time slightly.
To prevent the pasta from sticking together after draining, toss it with a small amount of olive oil.
