Tips

  • Chop large broccoli pieces with kitchen shears right in the dish for easy cleanup.
  • Use low-fat and high-protein milk for added protein.
  • Mix Alfredo sauce with milk and cottage cheese to get all remnants from the jar and create a healthier sauce.
  • Gently poke the sauce with a spoon to ensure it settles throughout the casserole.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for a golden and slightly crispy top.
