Tonight's Dinner - Broccoli Shells

[Guest guest]

This is tonight's dinner. DH loved it. I thought it a touch dry. Could've

used some cooking water or something to moisten it. I adapted this from the

Best of the Best - PA book. If you don't add my additional items and the

butter in the ingredient list to the mix, this would be vegan.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup medium pasta shells

boiling salted water

1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli -- chopped

3 tbsp butter

1 tbsp oil

2 med onions -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1/2 cup mushrooms -- sliced

1/2 cup fresh parsley -- chopped

Risa's additions:

1 tsp dried oregano -- crumbled

1/2 tsp black pepper

I DOUBLED THE RECIPE. ALL INGREDIENTS ARE DOUBLED (except oils)!!

 

Cook shells in boiling salted water, until al dente, about 10 minutes (my

box said 8). Add broccoli in last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain well.

 

In a large skillet, combine butter and oil. When butter has melted, add

onion, garlic and mushrooms. Saute over medium heat until onion is limp and

mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add

parsley, Tabasco or pepper flakes and salt (and if using cilantro, pepper,

oregano). Combine with shells and broccoli, tossing to mix. Then return to

skillet until heated through. Top with parmesan.

 

Serving: Top each serving with some shredded mozzarella (low fat or fat free

is ok). Cover and let the cheese melt a bit.
