Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
Pour in the chicken broth, half-and-half, garlic powder, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pasta and the broccoli florets, stirring to combine. Make sure your pasta is completely submerged in the mixture. Cover and cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally, about 9-10 minutes.
Stir in ½ cup of Muenster cheese and 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese.
Top the pasta with the remaining ½ cup of Muenster cheese and 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese. Cover for 5 minutes and heat until cheese is melted.
Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
