    This is so good. I went a step further and cooked the noodles & broccoli IN chicken broth. That added even more flavor into the noodles & broccoli. I then used 1 1/2 cups of the pasta broth to make the gravy. Let me tell you, the firs time I made this, I realized I have to double the recipe because by the time my 3 kids and granddaughter had eaten this up, there was barely 1/2 cup left for me. This is definitely something I make at least once a week now.
