Preparation
- 1Wash the broccoli, cut into florets, cook for 6 to 8 minutes, and drain. Then cook the noodles according to package directions and drain them as well. Afterward, rinse with cold water and drain again.
- 2Wash the tomatoes and halve them. Finely chop the onions. Melt fat in a pot to sauté the finely chopped onions. Then dust everything with flour, sauté briefly, and carefully pour in or deglaze with broth and milk. Afterward, bring the gratin sauce to a boil while stirring.
- 3Then stir the cheese into the gratin sauce and season with salt, pepper, sugar, and nutmeg. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Mix the noodles, broccoli, and tomatoes with the sauce. Pour everything into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle the cheese over it. Bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C convection for approx. 45-60 minutes (depending on the oven).
Tip
If you want a vegan casserole, you can also prepare the gratin sauce with oat milk or oat cream. And instead of cheese, you can use vegan shredded cheese.
