Sausage Shells Recipe


That recipe so very delicious. I love how you arranged the shells in a circular pattern.

Ingredients
  • 16-18 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 pound fresh pork sausage links, casing removed
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeeze dry
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and fill a large bowl with cold water and ice, set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Add pasta shells and cook according to package directions. Drain well then add to ice water until ready to stuff.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add pork sausage then use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage, cook 5-6 minutes until browned.
  6. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds then add tomatoes and spinach (make sure the thawed frozen spinach has been squeezed dry); cook 1 minute.
  7. Remove pan from heat and stir in ricotta cheese.
  8. Using a spoon, fill pasta shells with pork filling and arrange in a baking dish (9-inch x 9-inch baking dish works well).
  9. Sprinkle tops with shredded cheese then bake in the oven 25-30 minutes until cheese has melted and tips of shells begin to crisp and brown.
