This is a favorite of my children. When i first made it i thought it was a simplified version of lasagna. It's less mess and easy to eat serve and eat too. I am not trying to take away the beauty and taste of Lasagna, but for a new cook this is relatively easy to make.
Ingredients:
1 pack of Jumbo shells( found in the pasta section of any store.)
2-3 Tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced.
1 Prego Pasta sauce.
1 (16oz) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 Pack (16oz) frozen chopped spinach.
Salt, Pepper and crushed red pepper to taste.
Method: Cook the shells as per the instructions given on the pack. Preheat the oven to 350*.
Take olive oil in a pan, add minced garlic and saute it. Add thawed spinach, salt and pepper. Let it cook until moisture leaves and then add 1/2 cup of pasta sauce to it and the ricotta cheese. Mix it well and then add Parmesan cheese. Keep the mixture aside and let it cool down. Take a baking tray, spray some oil in it, and pour about 1/2 cup pasta sauce in it and spread it evenly. arrange the shells in it and fill the spinach mixture in it, top each shell with 1tbsp of sauce and mozzarella cheese. You can add some parsley flakes on it for flavor. Cover the tray with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes and broil on high for 5 minutes. Serve it hot with any soup and bread of you choice.
