12 manicotti or 18 conchiglioni (jumbo shells)
8-oz. package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), cut up
3/4 C. fat-free milk
1/2 of a 7-oz. jar roasted red sweet peppers (about 1/2 C.), drained and chopped or one 4-oz. jar diced pimiento, drained
3 T. grated Parmesan cheese
9-oz. package (2 C.) frozen diced cooked chicken, thawed
10-oz. package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
2 T. thinly sliced green onion

Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water; drain well. For sauce: In a heavy small saucepan stir cream cheese and 1/4 C. of the milk over medium-low heat until smooth. Stir in remaining milk. Stir in sweet peppers or pimiento and Parmesan cheese; heat through. For filling:
In a large bowl stir together 3/4 C. of the sauce (set remaining sauce aside), the chicken, broccoli, onion, and black pepper. Using a small spoon, stuff each manicotti with about 1/4 C. of the filling or each conchiglioni with 2 to 3 T. filling. Place in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, covered, in a 350º oven for 30 minutes or until heated through. To serve: Cook and stir remaining sauce over low heat until heated through. Place 2 manicotti or 3 shells on each serving plate.
