Stuffed Shells Recipe
Stuffed Shells Recipe:
This recipe was modified from the book, “Cook This, Not That.” (I highly recommend this cookbook!!!)
Ingredients:
5 Members Mark (Sams/Walmart Brand) Spinach and Asiago Sausages
About 20 Large Pasta Shells
Half Container of Richotta Cheese
Pasta Sauce
Handfull of favorite Italian Cheese
Boil enough water to cook the pasta Shells (you should know the drill). When the pasta is finished cool it off by running it under cool water and set aside.
Remove the sausage from the casing and brown it up in a skillet. When finished, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. I unceremoniously dumped the sausage in a mixing bowl and used my spatula to break it up more (I had a bit of a problem getting the large chunks of sausage to break up in the skillet, since it was pre-cooked). Add about half a container of ricotta cheese (about 1 cup) to the sausage and mixed together with the spatula I had been using. (I didnt want to clean more dishes than necessary.)
Preheat the oven to about 400F, coat the bottom of a decent sized oven safe container with pasta sauce. Start to spoon the sausage/cheese mixture into your prepared large pasta shells, and place them in your pan. Cover with a generous amount of pasta sause, then Mozzarella cheese, cover with tin foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove the foil, bake for 10 more minutes until the cheese and sauce our bubbling.
It’s yummy. Try it.
