8 cups Broccoli Florests

1 tbsp Olive Oil

1 Small onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp All purpose flour

1 tsp Dry mustard

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9x13 in dish with nonstick spray.

3. While the pasta and broccoli are cooking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Increase the heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens, 3-4 minutes.
