Meatless Monday: Stuffed Shells with Spinach

I was craving these so bad last week.  I combined a few recipes to make this one.

Ingredients:

  • 12 jumbo pasta shells
  • 10 ounces of fresh or frozen spinach
  • 1 cup of ricotta cheese (I prob used a little more)
  • 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella (shredded)
  • salt and pepper (enough to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
  • 1 jar of marinara sauce

Cook the shells as you would any pasta, but make sure you don’t cook them all the way.  You want them dente (so you can work with them).

Mix the ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella in a bowl.  Throw in your spices. Chop the spinach, add to the bowl and stir.

Stuff the shells with your cheese mixture.  Coat the bottom of the pan with a marinara sauce and then place the shells inside.  Once all the shells are in, cover with another level of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes.

 

It’ll come out look like this.  And it will be amazing.

Serve and eat.  (Although prob eat two or three, this meal below was entirely too much food. For realz).

Enjoy!
