1. Cook the pasta, adding the broccoli for the final 4-5 mins and cooking until tender. Drain well,
then heat the grill.
2. Heat the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 min, then gradually add the milk,
stirring well between each addition. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer for 2 mins, before stirring
in the mustard, half the cheese and seasoning.
