Gratin of Broccoli with Mascarpone and Parmesan

Mascarpone is a type of rich cream cheese. It is very versatile and can be used where you would normally use cream or crème fraîche.

This simple sauce can be served with other vegetables such as leeks, cauliflower or broad beans, or serve it with pasta or gnocchi for a quick last-minute meal, assuming you have mascarpone in your fridge.
