Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Cook pasta according to directions on the box
Bake bacon at 375 for 8 minutes
Steam broccoli. I simply steam mine by putting it in a microwavable bowl, covering the bowl with a wet paper towel and nuking it for 5 minutes. I then take it out, stir it and nuke it for another 2 minutes.
Make the cheese sauce. Make a roux by combining the baking blend and butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Slowly add in the almond milk, 1 c cheddar cheese, & mozarella cheese continually stirring with a silicon whisk until well combined. Add in paprika and garlic salt.
Mix bacon, broccoli, chicken (if using) and pasta w/ cheese sauce in 9 x 13 pan
Sprinkle with ¼ c. parm cheese and a handful of cheddar cheese
Bake for 10 minutes
