From the Test Kitchen

It doesn’t get much more comforting than tonight’s cheesy, creamy pasta and broccoli casserole. We’re tossing springy fusilli bucati and tender vegetables with nutty asiago cheese, then topping the casserole with creamy fontina cheese just before baking it to meld the rich flavors. A garnish of crispy onions finishes the dish with contrasting texture.
