I have been thinking a lot about this recipe. I made regular stuffed shells (with ricotta, etc.) a couple of weeks ago and had half a box left and I wanted to try something new. I came across a few recipes, but none of them sounded that great. So, after much research and trial and error (I made 3 different kinds), I give you Broccoli Stuffed Shells with Creamy Cheese Sauce:
Ingredients:
Shells:
- 8 Jumbo Shells
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4t Salt
- 1/2t Pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets (cooked and chopped)
- 1 cup Cold Milk
- 1T Corn Starch
- 1/4t Salt
- 1/8t Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3T grated Parmesan
Directions:
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- Cook shells al dente, according to package directions
- In a small sauce pan, heat milk, whisk in corn starch, salt, pepper, and cheeses. Continue to stir until cheese is melted and sauce thickens.
- Combine cream cheese, 3/4 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and broccoli in a small bowl.
- Spray a medium, glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread about 1/4 cup of sauce on bottom of dish.
- Stuff shells with broccoli mixture and place open side up in dish.
- Cover shells with about 1/4 cup of sauce.
- Cover with foil, bake for 30 minutes. If you like your shells a little crispy, uncover for the last 10 minutes.
- Serve with remaining sauce.
