ItalianMain courseVegetarianSalad

Ingredients

  • 8 shells Jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup Frozen or fresh spinach
  • 1 cup Marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups Mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup Vinaigrette dressing
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

4

Fill each jumbo pasta shell with a generous tablespoon of the ricotta-spinach mixture.

5

Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells on top of the sauce.

6

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

7

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

8

While the shells are baking, prepare the side salad. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with vinaigrette dressing.

9

Serve the baked stuffed shells hot, alongside the fresh mixed greens salad.
