Better than Mom's Stuffed Shells Recipe
These amazing stuffed shells recipe is baked in a classic tomato and white sauce with delicious meat and ricotta cheese filling. I like to use a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef to make this a hearty meal to serve to friends and family.
Stuffed shells are a classic Italian recipe consisting of cheese or meat-stuffed pre-cooked pasta shells that are baked with a red or white sauce until the cheese stuffing is hot and melty. This classic recipe is commonly served up for holidays in the United States, however, in Italy and Sicily, this is a traditional Sunday lunch or dinner.
My family makes and serves this up every single Easter for as long as I've been alive. It's a dish I look forward to eating but does require processes similar to that of my lasagna Bolognese recipe.

These are not only easy, but they are incredibly delicious! The key is to not overcook your shells so that they hold their shape and are easier to stuff.
I found this recipe in my Italian magazine by Taste of Home, but they have the recipe available on their website:
20 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup prepared pesto
1 egg
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce, divided

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups Italian cheese blend, Parmesan cheese, pesto, egg and half of the beef mixture.

Delicious Stuffed Pasta Shells
These were so yummy! Thanks for the request ❤️️
I used the recipe linked below.... I cut it in half.
Link to recipe:
Recipe:
1 package jumbo pasta shells 16oz
4 cups ricotta or cottage cheese
12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
2 Eggs lightly beaten
4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
3/4 cup parmesan grated or shredded is fine
1 large jar spaghetti sauce
4 cups spinach rough chopped and stems removed if you prefer
1 lb ground Italian sausage or ground beef
dried parsley for garnish
*any other seasonings you might want to add
In a skillet over medium heat brown and crumble your meat.Drain any excess fat and remove from heat. In the same saucepan, cook spinach until wilted or about 1-2 minutes. Cook the shells according to package directions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, 8oz of mozzarella, 1/2 cup of parmesan, eggs, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir in the spinach.
Coat the bottom of a 9x13in pan with the entire jar of spaghetti sauce. ( I saved a little to spoon over the top) .Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and place shells open side up, very close together in the dish. There will be more shells than will fit into this pan and you can either make a second smaller pan (5x8 is good) or freeze for future use. Sometimes the shells also break in the box so this is fine.
Sprinkle your meat over the top of the shells. Then sprinkle with the remaining 4oz of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. If you like a cheesy crust, you may broil it uncovered for 3-5 minutes (watch closely). Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
