Giada's Creamy Baked Parmesan Pasta

Think of this recipe as my Italian version of mac and cheese. This creamy Parmesan baked pasta starts off with a rich bechamel sauce, then a heavy helping of both freshly grated Provolone and Parmesan, making it perfectly decadent and cheesy. I like to use shell pasta because the curves hold on to more of the cheese and the sauce, and broccoli florets add a little bit of greens in an otherwise indulgent dish. My favorite part, however, is the parmesan and panko breadcrumb mixture- it creates that perfect golden brown crunch on top that I love so much!
