  • 1
    PASTA SHELLS: Bring 4-6 quarts of water to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water. Boil uncovered for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and cool on a sheet pan.

    CHEESE FILLING: In a large bowl mix together ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses until well blended. Add egg and seasonings, mix well. Gently fold in chicken and broccoli. Generously stuff shells and line up in a large rectangular casserole dish, until you run out of filling or room in your casserole dish.
  • 3
    ALFREDO SAUCE: Melt butter until hot in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in light cream, parmesan cheese, and egg yolk, until thick and creamy.
