Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9 x 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat add butter and stir until melted. Whisk in flour until combined and a thick roux forms. Slowly whisk in the milk and stir until it thickens. Add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese until combined.
In a large pot cook pasta according to package directions. During the last two minutes add the broccoli. Drain.
Combine pasta, broccoli and remaining vegetables with chicken in the prepared casserole dish. Pour sauce over all ingredients and gently fold into the vegetables and chicken. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
