Another Vegetarian Thursday has come and gone. As a bonus we watched one of my all-time favorite movies. I actually don’t know why I love it so much, it is just a simple, family friendly movie. Dan in Real Life. I just love the family dynamics this movie has. They laugh and play and eat together. Anyways if you haven’t watched it (and like romantic comedies), I recommend it, now on to the recipe. It was pretty easy, and pretty tasty too. Next time I will serve with Garlic Bread to sop up all the leftover sauce on the plate. this is adapted from Broccoli Shells at allrecipes.

•  1 (300 g) container ricotta cheese
•  2 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well drained
•  1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•  1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•  1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•  18 jumbo shell-shaped pasta, cooked and drained
•  1 jar Newman’s Own Sookaroni sauce

1. Cook pasta until al dente in large pot of salted water.

2. Mix ricotta, broccoli, 1/2 cup mozzarella and parmesan cheese in small mixing bowl.

3. Pre heat oven to 400.

4. Spread 1 cup of the pasta sauce in bottom of 13×9 inch plate.

5. When pasta has finished cooking, rinse with cold water and fill with ricotta filling. ( about 1 heaping tablespoon each).

6. Place pasta shells on top of sauce and top with remaining sauce, then remaining mozzarella.

7. Bake for 25 minutes.

8. Eat and Enjoy!
