directions

  • Preheat the broiler. Toast half of the bread slices at a time on a baking sheet. Rub both sides of the toast with the cut garlic and drizzle 1/2 cup olive oil over the slices.
  • While the bread is cooking, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli florets and chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover the pan and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Uncover and boil until the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring often, until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Season the sauce with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Layer half the bread in a 9 by 13 inch casserole; spread with half of the broccoli mixture and top with ricotta, a few ladles of the sauce and the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Layer the remaining bread slices, broccoli mixture, sauce and all of the provolone cheese on top.
  • Bake until brown and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
