Stuffed Shells are a bit like open-face ravioli, and you can stuff them with any filling you’d like! I went with a spinach/cheese blend, but meat, mushrooms, and other vegetables work too!
Recipe:
1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat, then add 2 minced garlic cloves. After 1 minute add 6 ounces spinach and stir until wilted. Let cool, then chop.
2. Mix the chopped spinach with 2 cups ricotta, half a cup shredded mozzarella, half a cup grated pecorino Romano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
3. Cook shells in salted boiling water, but undercook by about 2 minutes.
4. Let shells cool then fill each one using a piping bag.
5. Heat 2 cups marinara sauce in a skillet then arrange shells. Top with half a cup of mozzarella and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until cheese has melted. #stuffedshells #pasta
