It turned out very good. Buying all the ingredients did get a little pricey though, I spent about $35 or so on everything. The block of romano cheese being the priciest of the ingredients at $10. I used about half of the block for this recipe. It was very tasty though, loved the veggies in it, almost feels more like a casserole than mac and cheese because the dish is mainly ricotta cheese and the romano is just used as a seasoning on the top. Also, next time I would add prob double the amount of broccoli.
