TURKEY ALFREDO CASSEROLE

6 ounces fettuccini or medium noodles, uncooked
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli cuts
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups milk
2 1/4 cups chopped cooked turkey or chicken
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, divided use

Cook pasta according to package directions: drain and set aside.

Run water over broccoli to thaw; drain well.

To make the sauce, in large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, basil, salt, and pepper. Add milk all at once; cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir one minute more.

Remove from heat; stir in turkey, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and well drained broccoli. Add pasta and toss to coat. Place turkey mixture in a greased 7x12x2-inch baking dish.

Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes more or until heated through.
