If you've been following my blog or wandering around it for any length of
time you may have stumbled upon this recipe for stuffed shells.
Well, I decided those weren't adequate. They lacked oomph!
So, I whipped up my own original recipe!

Ingredients:
- (1) 15 oz. tub part skim ricotta cheese
- (2) 8 oz. tubs onion & chive cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
- 3 - 4 TBSP fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Dash of salt
- (1) 12. oz box of jumbo shells
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- (1) 24 oz. bottle of pasta sauce {I used Barilla's tomato basil}
- (1) 15 oz. bottle of pasta sauce {I used Classico's sundried tomato alfredo}
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together ricotta, cream cheese, parmesan, basil, salt and pepper until blended.

Cook jumbo shells according to package directions.
Drain shells and let cool for a minute or so.
*TIP: You may want to add a few drops of olive oil so that they don't stick together.*
Combine the two pasta sauces and spread on the bottom of a large baking dish.
Using your hands {it's about to get messy people} stuff the shells so that you
are still able to close them. Place them in the baking dish seam side down.
Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake @ 350 degrees F for 30 - 40 minutes.
Mmmmm....So good....
I paired mine with homemade turkey meatballs {recipe coming soon!}.
I even made a printable recipe just for you. Just click on the image below :)
Happy Tuesday y'all! And I'm only going to say this once...

ReplyDeleteI find that Real Simple (and sometimes Everydayfood mag) tend to need a little oomph! they are almost toooo simple so they lack depth of flavor!
