This dish a bit unique in that the shells are stuffed with a mixture that has an Alfredo sauce in it and then placed in a dish that has spaghetti sauce in it. The combination of Alfredo sauce and spaghetti sauce may not sound like a good one, but let me tell you it is. It is a very delicious combination.
Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 box jumbo pasta shells
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook pasta shells according to package directions, and let cool just enough to handle.
- In a large bowl mix together the Alfredo sauce, chicken, broccoli and both cheeses.
- Pour spaghetti sauce into the prepared pan, into an even layer.
- Spoon chicken and broccoli filling into the cooked shells and place into the prepared pan on top of the spaghetti sauce.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes or until heated through.
Notes:
Depending on how full you fill the shells you could need anywhere from 21 to 32. I usually cook the entire box because it never fails that some break on me.
