Cooking For One Recipes: Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Author: 
Recipe type: Main Dish
 
Ingredients
  • 10 jumbo pasta shells (in my town I always find these at Harris Teeter)
  • 1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce (a little more sauce than you may need)
  • 15-ounce container ricotta
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated mozzarella
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Set an oven rack to the highest position and heat oven to 400° F.
  2. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain. Set aside to cool.
  3. Spread the marinara sauce in the bottom of a large broiler proof baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach, Parmesan and ¼ teaspoon salt & pepper. (I like spinach so I used more than the recipe calls for).
  5. Spoon the mixture into the shells and place them on top of the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the shells with the mozzarella and bake until heated through, approx. 10-12 minutes.
  7. Increase heat to broil. Broil the shells until cheese begins to brown, 2 to 5 minutes. If you leave in too long the edges will start to burn, so watch them!
