Stuffed Shells Recipe

I have had a request for the recipe for stuffed shells...so, here it is!

jumbo shells
1 jar red pasta sauce
1 egg
1 container ricotta cheese (there are skim versions available but I always just use regular--I have only found one size but I think its around 15 oz)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (divided...1 1/2 cups goes in the mixture, 1/2 cup goes on top)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
chopped frozen spinach- defrost and drain...really get all the liquid out--the original recipe did not call for spinach but my kids love it so I add it every time


Cook shells per package directions. I usually cook around half a box (approx 25 shells).

In a mixing bowl lightly beat egg. Add ricotta, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, parsley, parmesan and completely drained spinach. Mix very well.

Spray baking dish(es) with Pam and then spread half the sauce in the bottom. Once shells are cooked (you don't want to overcook as they will fall apart when you try and spoon in the filling) and slightly cooled fill each shell with cheese/spinach mixture. Pour remaining sauce on top of the shells. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top, cover w/foil and bake at 425 for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy!
