The lemon gives the broccoli a really nice tang. I believe that is the secret to getting my kids to eat broccoli – disguising that cruciferous flavour! It kind of makes this recipe an adult version of mac and cheese. And the main thing I love about this recipe is that it is quick to make! As much as I love cooking and being in the kitchen, some days you just want to get in and get out, you know?
