Cheesy Spinach & Ricotta Jumbo Shells! 🧀✨ Because sometimes you want to make a restaurant-style dinner without spending hours in the kitchen!

These jumbo pasta shells are stuffed with a creamy spinach and ricotta filling, layered over pasta sauce, and baked until everything is hot, cheesy and delicious. And honestly, they look way fancier than the effort they take! 🤭❤️

🍝 Spinach & Ricotta Jumbo Shells Recipe

Ingredients:

* Jumbo pasta shells @barillame 
* Spinach leaves
* Ricotta cheese
* 1 egg
* Pasta sauce @ragu (marinara or your favourite tomato sauce)
* Mozzarella cheese (optional, but highly recommended!)
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Italian seasoning (optional)

👩🏻‍🍳 How to make it:

1️⃣ Boil the pasta: Cook the jumbo shells in salted boiling water until just tender. Drain and set aside. Be gentle so the shells don’t break!

2️⃣ Prepare the filling: Cook the spinach leaves in a pan until wilted. Let them cool slightly, chop them up, and mix with ricotta cheese and one egg. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning if you like.

3️⃣ Prepare the tray: Spread a generous layer of pasta sauce across the bottom of your baking dish.

4️⃣ Stuff the shells: Fill each jumbo shell with the spinach and ricotta mixture and arrange them in the tray.

5️⃣ Add the cheese: Spoon a little extra sauce over the shells and sprinkle mozzarella on top for that lovely cheesy finish.

6️⃣ Bake: Pop the tray into a preheated oven at 180°C until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you like a golden top, broil for the last couple of minutes, keeping an eye on it.

And that’s it! A comforting, cheesy pasta dish that looks impressive but is actually so simple to make. 😍

Save this recipe for your next pasta night, and tell me… would you try this with extra mozzarella or keep it simple? 👇🏼❤️

Korean Gochujang Peanut Fettuccine 🌶️🥜

Ingredients

* Fettuccine pasta @barillame 
* Garlic, finely chopped
* Green onions
* Sesame seeds
* Neutral oil
* Gochujang @haveagoodseoul 
* Unsweetened crunchy peanut butter @pintola.in 
* Chili flakes
* Peanuts, optional
* Soy sauce
* Oyster sauce
* Rice vinegar
* Kewpie mayo @kewpie_global ie
* Pickle juice or lemon juice
* Honey
* Salt — use less, as the sauces are already salty
* Black sesame seeds, for garnish

Method

Boil your fettuccine pasta until al dente and keep some pasta water aside.

In a bowl, add lots of chopped garlic, sesame seeds, green onions and chili flakes.

Heat some oil until hot and pour it directly over the garlic mixture. Let everything sizzle.

Add gochujang, crunchy peanut butter, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, Kewpie mayo, honey and a little pickle juice or lemon juice. Add a small amount of salt, keeping in mind that the sauces are already salty.

Mix everything together until you have a smooth, creamy sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen it.

Add your cooked fettuccine and toss really well until every strand is coated in the sauce.

Add some peanuts for extra crunch, if you like.

Garnish with black sesame seeds, sesame seeds and green onions.

Enjoy! 🌶️🥜🍜
