Melt butter.
Add flour → stir 1–2 minutes (no browning).
Slowly add milk while whisking.
Cook until thick and smooth.
Add cream.
Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg.
Goal: creamy. Not cement.
2️⃣ Cook the pasta
Boil salted water.
Cook all three pasta types together.
3️⃣ Broccoli goes in late

Drain.
Broccoli = green excuse.
