Broccoli stuffed shells with Alfredo Sauce

On our Last night of official night of our 3 weeks veggie challenge, I had the best reaction from our Monkey.

"is this broccoli, YUM! I love broccoli."

Did my challenge work?

Maybe,

she at least doesn't whine about a veggie being in her food, ate it entirely, and wanted to know when we are going to have it again.

It might just be that she is really excited that tomorrow we will be having,

Salade de pommes de terre,

which is basically potatoes and meat.

Her favorite thing to eat.

Do you want this recipe??

Here is the greatest thing,

I created it myself.

I am sure there are other recipes that are similar out there

I just didn't use one for this, so I am not exactly sure on measurements.

Shells (we cooked 30 used 24)

Cottage Cheese

Broccoli

1 egg

1 1/2 c -2 cups Shredded Parm Cheese

(i know this because the pre-shredded bag said 1 1/2c per bag)

half pint light cream

1-2oz of garlic and herb goat cheese (or just smash and chop 3 or 4 garlic cloves)

a stick of Butter.

Cook your shells for about half the necessary cook time in boiling water, drain, toss in olive oil, and let cool. You will be handling them, and I don't want to hear about burned fingers.

Mix a normal size cottage cheese container amount (like 12-16 oz??) with half a bag of frozen broccoli. I cut mine up really fine, so at the very least run them through a food processor.

add one egg, and mix. Add a handful of parm cheese.

The shredded kind is best.

Drizzle the bottom of a casserole dish with olive oil, this is just for the noodles to not stick to the pan. Then fill each shell and line them up in the pan.

These go in an oven for about a half hour, covered with foil at 325-350.

On the stove(med heat), melt butter , 1 1/2c parm cheese, goat cheese(or crushed and diced garlic), stir till the butter is melted and the cheese is soft,

then add the light cream.

It will get nice a creamy as you stir.

Be patient the parm has to cook longer to melt. Those hard cheese can be fun.

Pull out the shells, and pour the sauce over the shells, or serve the shells and add sauce on a person to person preference.

SO YUM.
