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.
