Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. If you are using fresh broccoli, blanch in hot salted water for 5 minutes, then drain. If you are using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it. Add the broccoli to the macaroni & set aside.
Meanwhile, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and add enough warm water to cover. Let stand for 10 minutes or until softened. Drain well, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside.
Melt the butter in medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, cayenne, basil, and salt. Add the milk, and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add 3/4 cup of Cheddar, Gruyere and Gouda, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the cheeses are melted. Stir in the macaroni and broccoli mixture and the softened sun-dried tomatoes. Transfer to 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle the top of casserole with remaining 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
