Easy Spinach Stuffed Shells


  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

  • Box of jumbo pasta shells (12 oz)
  • Frozen spinach (10 oz package)
  • Mozzarella, 8 oz block, grated
  • Ricotta, 32 oz. (you can use whole milk or skim)
  • Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon each
  • Tomato or Marinara Sauce, 28 oz.
  • Fresh Parmesan, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare your pasta shells according to the package for al-dente. Drain and rinse with cool water.
  2. Steam your frozen spinach according to package directions and squeeze out all the water. Then squeeze again, nobody wants watery stuffed shells!
  3. Lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish with olive oil spray and spread a thin layer of tomato/marinara sauce in the bottom.
  4. Prepare your cheese mixture: mix ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, salt, pepper.
  5. Stuff each of your shells with the spinach & cheese mixture.
  6. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle fresh-grated parmesan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 mins on 350 until warm throughout.
  8. **I usually have extra shells that don’t fit in the casserole dish– you can freeze these on a cookie sheet overnight. Space them apart so they don’t stick together. The next morning, move to a zip bag and you have an EASY throw it in the oven meal for another night.
