Admittedly, I could really only make spaghetti when I met him. Had rarely gone off into other types of pastas so I have branched out! I decided to try stuffed shells the other day. I mean how hard could it be? Turns out, I can handle stuffing some shells too!
STUFFED SHELLS
20 JUMBO SHELLS
1 LB ITALIAN SAUSAGE
1/2 CUP CHOPPED ONION
1/2 CUP CHOPPED GREEN OR RED PEPPER
1 CLOVE GARLIC, PRESSED OR MINCED
1 JAR (16 OZ) OF FAVORITE PASTA SAUCE (OR MAKE YOUR OWN)
1 CUP RICOTTA
2 C MOZZARELLA CHEESE
1/2 CUP PARMESAN
1 EGG
Italian seasoning
garlic salt
ground pepper
1. Boil shells until al detente. Rinse and cool.
2. Brown sausage- drain grease. Season sausage with Italian seasoning and add onions, peppers, and 1 cup sauce. Allow to simmer. Add garlic at the end so that it does not burn.
3. Combine riccotta, 1/2 cup mozerrella, and 1/2 cup parm with egg. Set aside.
Spread one cup of sauce on botton of 9x13 casserole. Stuff shells with cheese/egg mixture and place on top of the sauce.
4. When all shells are filled, top with remaining sauce and add more mozzarella. Cover and bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Remove cover and continue baking for 5-8 more minutes.
Needless to say, this was a hit! Very much Dave approved!
