How To make Cheese Stuffed Baked Pasta Shells
9 ounces jumbo pasta shells
--about 42 (not hardly-more like 24) 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic
minced
1 1/4 cups no salt added tomato sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
:
or 2 teaspoons dried basil 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese, part skim milk shredded
chopped parsley :
for garnish
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain the pasta in a colander, rinse under cold running water, and set aside to drain again. 2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the oil until hot but not smoking. Add th onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, half of the basil, and the pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, uncovered, for 10 minutes. 3. Preheat the oven to 375 oF. 4. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, and the remaining basil. Dividing evenly, stuff each of the shells with the ricotta mixture. 5. Place the shells in a shallow 11 by 7 inch baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
Microwave Shortcuts: Follow the recipe as directed through Step 4. Arrange the stuffed shells in a shallow 2 to 3 quart microwave safe baking dish and top with the tomato sauce. Cover loosely with waxed paper, and cook at high for 5 minutes. Cook at medium for 10 minutes, rotating the dish twice. While the dish is still hot, sprinkle it with the mozzarella and let it stand to melt the cheese.
Serving Size: 7 stuffed shells plus sauce (I only got 4 stuffed shells with sauce).
Each serving provides: 1/2 fat, 2 proteins, 1/2 vegetable (modified to new program), 2 breads.
Nutrition information, Values are approximate per serving: 359 calories, 20 g protein, 13 g fat, 41 g carbohydrate, 68 mg cholesterol, 222 mg sodium.
Serve with slices of fresh fennel on a bed of assorted salad greens, drizzled with a simple vinaigrette. For dessert, present a bowl of chilled strawberries sprinkled with Marsala wine and crushed macaroons.
For a spicy variation, substitute shredded jalapeno jack cheese for half of the mozzarella and add 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin to the sauce.
Gail's note: Weighed out 9 ounces of "Jumbo Shells". There were only 24, not 48. Also this casserole needs more sauce. Since vegetables are free (tomato sauce), it would be easy to double the sauce recipe, could probably keep the oil the same so as not to increase the fat. In a pinch, substitute your favorite jarred sauce.

Shopping List:
Cheese Filling:
8 oz ricotta
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella
5.2 oz boursin garlic and herbs cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsely
1 tsp lemon zest
salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder,
1 egg
Red Sauce:
4 cloves fresh chopped garlic
2 28 oz cans tomato sauce
fresh basil
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic paste
1 lb jumbo pasta shells
salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes
3 tbsps olive oil
Directions:
Begin by making your sauce. Add olive oil to a sauce pan over low heat. Add chopped fresh garlic and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Do not burn the garlic - you want to infuse the flavor into the olive oil. Add red pepper flakes after 3 minutes and simmer.
Next, add in your tomato sauce and fresh basil. You can add garlic paste as well to enhance the overall garlic flavor, if that’s your thing. Season to taste and add a pinch of sugar as needed to balance acidity. Simmer on low until you need the sauce later.
For the cheese mixture, add ricotta and Boursin cheese to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Zest 1 tsp of lemon into the cheese and add parmesan and mozzarella. Season to taste BEFORE adding the egg. Once the flavor is right, mix in the egg and add the cheese mixture to a piping bag or ziplock bag.
Boil noodles per package instructions for baked pasta shells (should only be a few minutes because they cook in the oven. ALWAYS Salt your pasta water
Drain noodles and allow them to cool for a few minutes so you can handle them. Spoon sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish and then fill each pasta shell with your cheese filling.
Once all shells are filled and placed into your baking dish, add a thin layer of sauce and top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is browned and bubbly. Serve with remaining sauce.
If you’d like to add meat to this, you can add it to your sauce and follow the same recipe. Enjoy!
