Easy & Rich Macaroni Au Gratin

I use this recipe when I'm serving gratin to only a few people. This is my own variation of a recipe that I learned in my home economics class in high school. It's also great with some shimeji mushrooms mixed inside.
This recipe uses the minimum amount of macaroni - please add some more if desired.

When you're in a rush: after you drain the macaroni and broccoli in a colander in Step 2, you can mix them directly into the finished sauce from Step 6. Also try adding chicken breast or shrimp when sautéing.
In Step 5, Stir the sauce with a wooden or rubber spatula while it is simmering.
In Step 8, Take care to bake the macaroni until the surface is nicely browned. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
