1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the package's directions until al dente, then drain.
3
While the pasta is cooking, using a steamer or an insert, steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
4
In a large skillet set over medium heat, add olive oil, then stir in the onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
5
Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet, cook for a further 1 minute until fragrant.
6
Stir in the sun dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and steamed broccoli, cook for another 2 minutes until well combined.
7
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add flour, and whisk for 1 minute to create a roux.
8
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth.
9
Add parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and keep whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
10
Pour the sauce over the drained pasta, add the sun dried tomato and broccoli mixture, and stir well to combine everything together.
11
Spread the pasta mix into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
12
In a small bowl, combine panko bread crumbs and a tablespoon of olive oil until fully mixed.
13
Spread this crumb mixture evenly over the mozzarella.
14
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
15
Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
