Directions
Casserole
Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the pasta in lightly salted water to al dente according to package directions. During the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the broccoli florets. Before draining the pasta and broccoli, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. Drain and transfer the pasta and broccoli to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until it begins to brown and turns translucent. Add the garlic and flour; cook for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the stock, reserved water and milk while whisking constantly until fully incorporated. Add the cornstarch and stir until completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat. Add the chicken, black pepper, rosemary, sage, paprika and salt; stir until well combined. Pour chicken mixture over the pasta and gently stir to combine. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Topping
Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the corn flakes and butter. Add the black pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.

Step 2

Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until casserole is hot and bubbling in the center. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onion and enjoy immediately.
