Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire cuire les pâtes

    Dans la casserole, porte 1 litre d'eau à ébullition avec une pincée de sel. Ajoute les pâtes et fais-les cuire 10 minutes à feu moyen, sans couvercle, jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient al dente. Égoutte-les dans la passoire.

    Tip · Pour éviter que les pâtes ne collent, remue-les une fois en début de cuisson.

  2. Cuire le brocoli

    Dans la même casserole, fais revenir le brocoli surgelé à feu moyen avec 2 cuillères à soupe d'eau pendant 5 minutes, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit tendre. Égoutte-le bien.

  3. Préchauffer le four

    Préchauffe le four à 180°C (thermostat 6).

  4. Mélanger les ingrédients

    Dans le plat à gratin, mélange les pâtes égouttées, le brocoli cuit, la crème fraîche, la moitié de l'emmental râpé (30 g), une pincée de sel et de poivre.

  5. Ajouter le reste du fromage

    Répartis le reste de l'emmental râpé (30 g) uniformément sur le dessus du mélange dans le plat à gratin.

    Tip · Si le gratin brunît trop vite, couvre-le avec une feuille de papier aluminium pendant les 5 dernières minutes.

  6. Enfourner le gratin

    Place le plat à gratin dans le four préchauffé et fais cuire 15 minutes, jusqu'à ce que le dessus soit bien gratiné et doré.
