Ricotta Mozzarella Stuffed Shells in 30 minutes

This is WAY easier than it sounds or looks. I got the original from Moms who Think. But I changed it.
15 jumbo shells, uncooked
1 10-oz. package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 tsp Cilantro
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 14 1/2-oz. cans crushed tomatoes

Get your pan of water with a tad of salt and oil. Bring to Boil
While you are waiting for it to boil... Have a dance party!
and then find a fancy or old oven safe pan and line with foil. Who wants to save on dish duty?
mix together the ingredients
now stir. Be sure to turn your head and sneeze in your sleeve. The pepper is potent!
Stir some more and taste it. I added more seasonings. 
add some tomatos into your pan and then some more basil
and don't give in too much to the cute ones wanting a taste. Unless they beg. 
add the remaining broccoli
now your jumbo shells should be done. 
Rinse with COLD water. 
Scoop the yummy filling into each shell. Its a bit messy. 
and now you can give into the little beggar
Place the shells in the pan. Add the rest of the tomatoes over the shells. So pretty. 
Now cover those pretty shells with foil. Bake at 375*
Sprinkle more cheese and ENJOY!!
