Cheesy Broccoli Pasta Shells (Bake)

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Cook the pasta shells in a large pan of boiling salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

Peel and finely slice the garlic. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute. Break the broccoli into florets, add to the pan with most of the milk and simmer for 15 minutes until very tender.

Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Blend until smooth with a stick blender. Add the remaining milk and grate in most of the cheddar. Season well.

Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce, then transfer to a large baking dish.

Blitz the bread into rough crumbs and scatter over the top. Grate over the remaining cheddar.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
