INGREDIENTS:
- 3-4 cups meat sauce
- 1 box or bag of extra large pasta shells
CHEESE FILLING - mix together until creamy
- 1 pound ricotta
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese - shredded - use half for filling and reserve half for topping
- 1/2 cup parsley - minced
- 5 ounces baby spinach - blanch and squeeze water out
- 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese
- 2 large eggs - beaten
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In boiling salted water (2 tablespoons kosher salt per gallon water) add a drop of olive oil and cook pasta shells until very al dente. Stir frequently to avoid sticking.
2. Strain the shells and place on clean kitchen towels. Allow shells to cool before stuffing.
3. Mix cheese filling and place in a pastry or plastic bag. Cut off the tip of bag and squeeze the filling into each shell.
4. Lay a 1/2 thick layer of meat sauce into a large non-stick baking dish. Place all of the stuffed shells into the meat sauce lined baking dish.
5. Place a layer of sauce on top of the shells but do not completely cover the shells. Sprinkle the remaining half of mozzarella cheese on top of the shells.
6. Cover the stuffed shells with a layer of parchment paper then foil to avoid sticking or alternatively lightly oil the foil before placing on top. Bake the shells at 400f for 30 minutes, then removing covering and bake for 15 minutes more until bubbly and crispy. Enjoy!
NOTE: Serve with more meat sauce and grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano.
