SC and I made this without a recipe! I had ricotta cheese leftover from the previous dinner and decided I had to make something out of it. So, here's what we did:
Ingredients:
-1 box of pasta shells
-12oz ricotta cheese
-1 box frozen spinach
-1 cup grated parmegian reggiano
-salt & pepper
-Cayenne pepper
-Italian seasoning
-oregano
-parsley
-0.75lb ground turkey (or beef)
-20oz can tomato sauce
-1 small can of tomatoe paste
-4 roma tomatoes
-1 onion
-6 garlic cloves
Prepare the pasta per packaged instructions but boil only for half the time. Remove and run cold water through it to prevent breakage.
Sauce: Cook the turkey (or beef) with onion & garlic. Add some italian seasoning, Cayenne pepper, salt & pepper. When done, mix in tomato sauce, paste and roma tomatoes.
Stuffing: Mix ricotta, spinach (defrosted & drained), salt & pepper, italian season, oregano, parsley.
Gently put stuffing into cooked shells. In a large baking dish, layer the bottom with sauce, place shells in one layer, pour remaining sauce onto shells. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes covered with foil. Sprinkle parmegian reggiano over the top and bake an additional 10-12 minutes uncovered.
Done! It was delicious! Rachel Ray ain't got nothin' on us!! =) Well, except maybe a few TV shows, cookbooks, and some millions & millions of dollars....
