Wonderful, simple, meatless main dish. This is my mom's recipe...so easy to make. You can use part-skim or fat-free mozzarella and fat-free cottage cheese to lower the fat content. Serve with fresh green salad and garlic bread. Superb! Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells |
24 ounces low fat cottage cheese |
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 dash garlic powder |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
3 cups canned or jarred spaghetti sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook shells as directed on package and drain in single layer on paper towel.
3. Mix together all ingredients and fill each shell with 2-3 Tbsp. of filling
4. Spread thin layer of sauce in 9x13-inch baking dish and place stuffed shells on top.
5. Cover with remaining sauce.
6. Cover with sheet of aluminum foil and bake 25-30 minutes.
7. Serve with extra parmesan cheese to sprinkle over top.
