Stuffed Pasta Shells
This is a staple in the Sweeney house - so easy and so delicious! And pretty cute to let the kids help you stuff them too :)
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion Chopped
1 Container of Ricotta Cheese ( 500g)
1 Cup Frozen Chopped Spinach ( or One Block)
1 Cup Shredded Cheese ( Cheddar, Marble, Whatever You Prefer)
1 Jar of Rose Sauce
1 Box of Giant Pasta Shells ( * lots of people wondering where to get these; I picked them up at Superstore)
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F
Brown the ground beef
Once browned, add the chopped onion to the beef
Add the frozen chopped spinach to the onion and beef
In a large pot, boil water and cook the large pasta shells
In a large bowl combine the shredded cheese and ricotta cheese
In that same large bowl combine the beef, onion and spinach mixture to the cheese mixture and stir
Once cooked, drain the shells
In a pan, spread a bit of the rose sauce on the bottom
Stuff the shells with the beef and ricotta mixture and place them in the pan
Once the pan is full, pour the remainder of the rose sauce over the shells
Cook covered for 40 mins , then 5 more mins uncovered.
ENJOY
