- Crush crackers and place in bottom of 9-inch square baking dish. Drain pasta mixture thoroughly and return to stockpot.
- Stir in remaining ingredients until well blended; spoon mixture over crackers in baking dish. Cover dish with foil; bake 12–15 minutes or until hot and broccoli is tender. Serve.
Peach Caprese Salad:

Aprons Advice:
- Complete your meal with bread sticks and a chocolate cake for dessert.
- In a hurry? Instead of transferring the pasta mixture to a baking dish, you can simply cook and stir for 4–6 minutes over low heat or until hot. Top with one-half of the crackers before serving.
