Super Stuffed Pasta Shells

I forgot to take a picture...this is the second time I've done that!!

Stuffed Pasta Shells

Pasta Sauce of your choosing
12 jumbo pasta shells
1 small container of ricotta cheese
1/8 cup parmesan cheese
1/8 cup romano cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 pkg fresh baby spinach (optional)
Salt and Pepper


  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Boil pasta shells. Drain and then lay them out upside down on paper towels to dry them out.
  • Combine cheeses and egg. Mix well.
  • Boil water. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Drain. Make sure ALL the water is out of the cooked spinach or else the finished dish will be watery.
  • Chop the cooked spinach and add to the cheese mixture.
  • Season with salt and pepper
  • Spoon the cheese mixture generously into the shells.
  • In a glass baking dish, coat the bottom with desired pasta sauce.
  • Line the stuffed shells in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
One of our favorite dishes to make. It is a little time consuming, but worth it. Again, I love to serve all my pasta dishes with the awesome Bruschetta recipe!
