Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Melt butter in a saucepan; stir in flour until blended. Slowly stir in the milk and broth and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until mixture is smooth and just begins to boil, about 8 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; remove from heat.
Bring a large pot of water to boiling; add the pasta and cook for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli florets to the pasta and continue cooking until both are firm to the bite; about 6 minutes more. Remove from heat and add 1 cup cold water to stop the cooking; drain.
Combine the pasta and broccoli, cheese sauce and chicken; spread in a shallow 2 quart baking dish. Drop pieces of the blue cheese on top, tucking into the pasta. Sprinkle surface with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until top is golden brown and mixture is bubbly. Cool 10 minutes before serving allowing pasta to set.

“Very easy to make and good. My 2 year old even liked it. I've made it twice now and the first time, I used too much blue cheese”

“This was just "OK" for my family. I think the sauce could be a little thiicker and I wouldn't use the mozzarella again, only on the top. It needs something different.... The blue cheese really was the best part for me. I wish I had used more - it is what gave it the most flavor. ”
