Cook broccoli

Microwave Broccoli: Add 4 cups broccoli florets to a large microwave-safe bowl. Add a splash of water, cover tightly (either with plastic wrap or with a plate), and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green and tender.If you prefer not to microwave, the broccoli can also be steamed or quickly boiled until tender.

Assemble: In a large bowl, gently stir together boiled pasta, cooked broccoli, 2 15-oz cans cannellini beans, half of the mozzarella, and sauce. Transfer to a large casserole dish. Top with remaining mozzarella.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until top is golden and melty and sauce is bubbling at the edges. Serve warm!
