  1. . Prepare a vegetable mix of choice or follow the suggested example. Make ahead if desired.
  2. . In a large pot filled with water, add the salt as it starts boiling. Cook the shells to the 'Al dente' stage, about 10 minutes or so. Pour them into a colander and rinse them immediately with cold water. Set aside.
  3. . Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas4. Position the rack on the second level from the bottom of the oven.
  4. . In a large [(9-x-13-inch) / 3 Liter] deep baking pan, start cooking the sauce. Add the tomato, milk, oil, Sherry and seasonings. Give them a stir. Place the pan into the oven to cook for about 15 minutes.
  5. . MEANWHILE...prepare to mix the vegetable mix with the cheese and roasted nuts. Stuff each shell and temporarily place them onto a tray.
  6. . Once the tomato has passed its initial cook time, remove the pan from the oven and snuggle in the stuffed shells side by side. Continue by adding the broccoli florets on the sides.
  7. . Cover the pan tightly with an aluminium foil and bake initially for 20 minutes and then uncovered for the last 15 minutes. Serve immediately and buon appetito.
  8. . Happy cooking from Claudia's cucina...FOODESSA.com
