Pasta W/cottage Cheese Pesto And Broccoli

If your conscience is too easily wounded, don't violate it. To violate even a weak conscience is to train yourself to override conviction, and that will lead to overriding true conviction about real sin. Moreover, violating the conscience is a sin in itself (Romans 14:23), bringing legitimate guilt for a real offense against God. So, respond to your conscience, even if it’s weak, and then continue to inform your conscience with God’s Word so it can begin to function with reliable data.

oshea@uoneuro.uoregon.edu (Sherry O'Shea) okay-i wouldn't  exactly call
this a "pasta sauce" but you will not believe how yummy  and rich this
recipeis!. Unknowing friends have told me after they  eat it that will
be full for hours , it was so rich and creamy-they  really laugh when i
tell them it has almost no fat in it!  Turn on a food processor fitted
with a steel blade and drop in the  garlic. Process until finely
chopped. Add the basil and chop fine.  Add the cottage cheese, salt,
pepper, yogurt, olive oil, and parmesan  chees; puree until the mixture
is creamy and smooth.  Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Add the pasta-boil 4-5  minutes and add the broccoli. Continue until
the pasta/broccoli is  cooked. Drain, toss with the cottage cheses
mixture-serve at once .  feeds 4 hungry people(can easily stretch to
6).  P.S. I chop up some fresh tomato and also add this. it adds color
and  a lot of flavor. this recipe has been a HUGE hit!  FATFREE DIGEST
