Preheat the broiler.
Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the spaghetti
and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or deep stove-top casserole dish over medium heat.
Scatter the flour over the butter and mix with a wooden spoon into a paste. Continue stirring in a
figure "8", making sure to get into the corners of the pan, until the paste puffs slightly and
lightens in color, about 1 minute. Off the heat gradually whisk the milk into the paste. Return to
medium-high heat and whisk until thickened, then simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce has
the consistency of heavy cream, about 8 to 10 minutes. Whisk in the cream cheese, Worcestershire
sauce, and nutmeg. Season with salt, pepper.
Reduce heat to low and whisk 1 cup Monterey Jack. Stir in the broccoli, peas, pepperoni and
spaghetti, and heat until warmed through.
Top casserole with the remaining 1 cup cheese; transfer to the broiler, and cook casserole until
brown and bubbly. Cool slightly and serve.
