Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 1 minute less than the package directions for al dente. During the final 3 minutes of cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water with the pasta. Drain.

Step 3

Stir the basil and Alfredo sauce into the pot with the drained pasta and broccoli. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Cover and bake for 15-20 minutes, just until warmed through.

Step 6

Remove the cover, sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and return to the oven (uncovered) until the cheese melts, about 5-10 more minutes. If you prefer the cheese brown and crisp on top, place the dish under the broiler for a couple of minutes instead.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve.
