"Baked Pasta Shells & Broccoli" (page 224)
really hit the spot for me the other day when I was craving a hot and creamy
casserole style dinner. Pasta dishes usually equate to comfort food for me, and
this dish was no exception. Small pasta shells and steamed broccoli are mixed
together with Mornnay-Style Cheeze Sauce , topped
with breadcrumbs and baked in the oven until hot and bubbly. I had the same
problem this time around thickening up the Mornay Sauce as I did the first time
I made it. I'm not sure why, I normally don't have an issue with sauces, but in
this recipe either less soymilk is needed, or more thickening agent . I added flour (instead of additional cornstarch) both times I've made it to get the sauce to the
desired thickness. The recipe calls for 3 cups of the sauce, and the recipe for
it makes just 2. I doubled the recipe and used all of it, as I didn't mind a
little extra creaminess. This dish is practically McDougall friendly as
written, as long as you omit the tablespoon of oil from the Mornay sauce.
