Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce

Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add fresh broccoli, and cook until easily pierced by a fork, about 7–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
