Creamy Garlic Shells
Before I had to change the way I eat due to health issues, we used to buy those dollar packs of side noodles to have usually once a week or so with dinner. They're tasty, but loaded with excess sodium and with ingredients I can't even pronounce. This pasta side dish reminds me of one of those packs, but I can feel better about eating it occasionally and serving it to my family. Recipe adapted from : Iowagirleats.com

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large pot, cook the shell pasta according to package directions. Once it's al dente, drain the pasta, toss it very lightly with olive oil to keep it from sticking together and set it aside.
- 2
Return the pot to the burner over med-high heat. Place in the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook, stirring fairly constantly, for just about 30 seconds.
- 3
Switch to a whisk and whisk in the flour. Cook while whisking that mixture for a minute or so. Then slowly whisk in the broth and the milk until smooth and incorporated.
- 4
Once it comes to a simmer, turn the heat down to medium. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes, until it has thickened up some. Stir in all of the seasonings.
- 5
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the parmesan cheese until it has completely melted.
- 6
Add the drained shells into the sauce and stir to incorporate. Taste and add any additional seasoning you think it may need...I usually always add more pepper.
- 7
Serve immediately and enjoy. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells
A marriage of two delicious pasta recipes, stuffed shells and chicken alfredo. I usually cook a couple chicken breasts in the crockpot each week and shred them to have on hand for quick dinners/lunches, so that's what I used, but a rotisserie chicken would work good as well. I also use jarred alfredo, to make this dinner quicker to put together, but feel free to use homemade.

Creamy Garlic-Parm Chicken Creamy Garlic-Parm Chicken
This is one of my very favorite chicken dishes. I have difficulty not moaning with every bite. You can serve it a number of ways. We like it served over spaghetti, the chicken cooked in strips and served on top. Or cook the chicken as crispy cutlets topped with the sauce and served with your favorite sides.
