If you like stuffed shells , you'll love this one, and probably will never buy frozen store bought ones again. It's one of my hit and miss recipes. Everybody I've made them for has loved them. Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) packages jumbo pasta shells |
8 cups ricotta cheese |
2 cups italian cheese blend |
2 cups mexican blend cheese |
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan-romano cheese mix |
6 eggs |
3 tablespoons parsley flakes |
2 teaspoons dried italian seasoning |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon ground pepper |
6 cups favorite spaghetti sauce |
3 lbs browned ground beef (for sauce) (optional) or 3 lbs italian sausage (for sauce) (optional) |
6 cups mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta as directed on box. Combine cheeses (except the mozzarella cheese), eggs, and seasonings. Mix well. Fill each pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture. Spread thin layer of sauce in bottom of 13x9 baking pan. Place pasta in pan; cover with remaining sauce. Spinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 350 for approx 35 mins or until hot and bubbly, take foil off and bake additional 15 minutes makes 18-24 servings. (put remaining shells in freezer bag freezes good for approximately 3-6 months). |
