Cheesy Stuffed Shells
Recipe by Kimber
"This is a delicious baked pasta dish with large shells filled with meat, spinach and cheese that children always seem to love. It is kind of a 'spaghetti that behaves itself!'"
Ingredients:
-
1 (16 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
-
1/2 pound Italian sausage
-
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
-
1 cup ricotta cheese
-
1 egg
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse in cold water.
- Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain and crumble. In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, spinach, ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper and oregano.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Stuff pasta shells with the sausage and cheese mixture and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese.
