For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheeses, such as mozzarella and Parmesan, in addition to the Cheddar.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Consider adding sauteed mushrooms or onions for extra depth of flavor.
To prevent the pasta from sticking together while boiling, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the water.
Ensure the broccoli is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery sauce.
