Ingredients:
14oz (400g) jumbo pasta shells
2 cups (500g) ricotta cheese
9oz (250g) fresh baby spinach
2oz (60g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
7oz (200g) baby mozzarella balls
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
28oz (800g) good quality tomato sauce
1 + 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup (110g) mozzarella or other cheese to sprinkle on top
Directions:
1. Fill large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.
2. Meanwhile heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, add chopped onion and sautรฉ for 3-4 minutes, and garlic and sautรฉ 2 minutes more. Add fresh spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leaves begin to wilt, about 5 minutes. Drain the liquids and let cool. Chop the spinach mixture and transfer to a large bowl.
3. To the bowl add ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mix well. Transfer to a piping bag.
4. When the water is boiling add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and place in a bowl with cold water.

In a large baking dish, arrange the shells in a single layer, with the open side facing upwards. Add to each stuffed shell one baby mozzarella ball. Pour the remaining tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake 10-15 minutes more or until the top is golden.

Se puede cocinar en microonda ?

What kind of tomato sauce was used here or is that homemade?
How to bake in microwave
I've looked at many videos today on stuffed shells, I am doing this one .thank u.
Actually almost done cooking this right now!! Thanks for giving me the idea!!!
So i tried this by putting everything in oven together and (what i noticed) is that the vegetables lost flavor so i will cook them separately and add them later to ensure that the vegies flavor is kept. If anyone has suggestions how to cook everything all together without any flavor lost please let me know. Also the shredded cheese didnt completely melt so im now trying 3 different cheese slices.
when your favorite cousin is vegetarian and said she wonโt come to thanksgiving unless thereโs options for her
Adam Ragusea basically did this.
