So anyway, the other day I made this recipe for the first time and it was amazing! It's a bit of work, but it's worth it and you'll have tons of leftovers. So, lets get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 box large Pasta Shells
- 1 16oz. pkg of Spicy Italian Sausage
- 1 Green Pepper, diced
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 Tablespoon of Garlic, jarred or chopped
- 1 can mushrooms
- 1 container Ricotta Cheese
- 1 can of diced Italian Style tomatoes, drained
- 1 24oz can of Pasta Sauce
- Mozzarella and Parmesan Shredded Cheese
Directions:
1. Chop your onion and green pepper. Toss them into a bowl with the canned mushrooms and garlic. Then begin sauteing them with your sausage.
2. Boil your pasta shells until al dente. You don't want a completely done shell b/c it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain and set aside to cool so you'll be able to handle them shortly.
3. When your sausage and veggies are completed, drain your tomatoes and add to the pain. Allow to cook 1 more minute. Remove mixture to a bowl.
4. Add in Ricotta cheese. I bought a 2 lb container and added a tiny bit less than half. That was plenty for us. Stir well.
5. Now you're ready to assemble! Using a teaspoon, spoon mixture into pasta shells and place them into a large casserole dish. Keep doing this until all your shells are full.
6. Once the shells are in the casserole dish, pour the pasta sauce over them. Then add the parm and then the mozzarella. I left the measuring off here as I just added however much cheese we preferred. I suggest you do the same.
7. Now place into the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the shells are cooked through and your cheese is bubbly and brown.
Here is the final product....
I served mine with salad and some bread (not shown). As you can see by the hefty portion here, this was a favorite! Enjoy!
