Ingrediencie

Nothing says comfort like my Mama’s spinach and ricotta stuffed shells!

Each shell is lovingly filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta, fresh spinach, and just the right blend of spices, then nestled in a bed of rich, homemade tomato sauce. Once baked to perfection, they’re finished with a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan, adding a nutty, salty touch that elevates every bite.

Watching Mama prepare this dish is like witnessing a masterclass in Italian cooking-every step done with care and tradition passed down from our family in Calabria 🇮🇹

Serve these at any gathering, and you’re guaranteed empty plates and happy smiles. Buon appetito!❤️

Stuffed Shells

Ingredients for pasta :

12 oz of jumbo pasta shells

4 cups of marinara sauce

Filling :

4 cups of spinach (blanched)

15oz of ricotta cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/4 cup of grated Parmesan

3 springs of parsley (chopped)

Postup

Cook the pasta shells. They should be al dente when you drain it.

Mix all filling ingredients in a bowl then stuff the pasta shells with the mixture and set aside.

Now bake your dish. Put one cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Place shells in your dish nestled closely together. Now add approximately two more cups of marinara sauce to cover the pasta completely on top.

Cover the dish in foil and bake for twenty minutes at 400 degrees.

Serve with extra marinara on the side and sprinkle Parmesan cheese.
