Drain in a colander; cool under cold running water.
Drain again; turn into baking dish.
Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, basil, horseradish, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

To make the sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion; saute 3 to 5 minutes or until softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually mix in the milk and mustard while stirring constantly.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and just boils.

Arrange the rack over the oven centre; preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Scatter the crumb mixture evenly over the vegetables in cheese sauce.
