Stuffed Shells with Ricotta and Spinach



This is not a complete recipe. My sister and I made it for my mom's birthday because she mentioned she wanted them a few weeks ago. It is really easy to make, especially with two people stuffing the shells. I do not have a recipe for the tomato sauce you use with it, either use jarred or use your own recipe, essentially all it is is can of crushed tomato, can of tomato paste, fresh garlic, salt, pepper, fresh garlic.

Ingredients
  • jumbo shells
  • ricotta cheese
  • mozzarella cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • nutmeg
  • frozen spinach
  • garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning
Directions
  1. Heat the jarred sauce or make your own homemade sauce.
  2. Boil a large pot of water for jumbo shells.
  3. Takes frozen spinach and boil in medium pot, drain.
  4. Mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, spinach, Italian seasoning, pinch of nutmeg, and garlic powder in a very large bowl.
  5. Lay a layer of tomato sauce on a bottom of a baking pan and begin to stuff the shells with the ricotta mixture. (For easy stuffing slightly pinch the two ends of the shells)
  6. Add more tomato sauce when baking pan is filled with stuffed shells.
  7. Either serve right away or refrigerate and heat through in oven when want to serve.
