Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the broccoli until tender, 3 minutes. Drain.

Heat the milk and butter in a large saucepan over low heat and slowly whisk in the flour. Simmer until slightly thickened, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan and ½ teaspoon salt. Add the pasta and broccoli and cook, stirring, over low heat until heated through.
Step 5
Top each serving with extra Parmesan.

Bland.

This was really quite good! I was a little more generous with the butter, maybe 2 Tb instead of one, and I added the grated rind of one whole lemon along with the juice of 1/2 lemon. I also added just a hint of nutmeg. All of these additions seemed to brighten things up! Has gone into my recipe file!

Honestly I thought this sauce was quite bland. I followed the suggestions of others with the nutmeg, pepper and garlic powder and it still was pretty flavorless. The only thing that seems to give it any punch is the Parmesan cheese.

I have a recipe that is similar to this for my sauce but I season it to taste with seasoned salt, garlic salt, onion powder and italian seasoning - I like my food to have flavor :) I also like to add some fresh chopped tomatoes and grilled chicken or shrimp. Delicious.

I thought the sauce tasted great, but I think 12 oz. is too much pasta. I made 12 oz of spaghetti (maybe different from fettuccine) and it was too much. I think I would do 8 oz. for this amount of sauce next time. Really surprised this is so low in fat!

I have to say that I tried the sauce and I did just as the previous comment suggested (with the nutmeg and pepper) and loved it. My boys loved it also. Great idea!

Just wanted to say lovely recipe! I only used the sauce part, but it turned out wonderfully. I used soy milk and it still turned out creamy and thick. A tip to add some more flavor: add a pinch of black pepper and nutmeg.
