Stuffed Pasta Shells

by Jenan Zammar February 16, 2022
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Homemade cheesy pasta shells are baked in a casserole with alot of pasta sauce. Your family will love it! The shells are boiled al dente then after being stuffed, they finish baking in the oven. The cheese becomes gooey and the flavours of the spinach pop in every bite.

When you’re preparing the filling, you want to make sure you squeeze all the water out of the spinach before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients. Once the filling is ready, I like to transfer it to a piping bag to fill the shells but a resealable bag or even a spoon will do the job as well. After the shells are filled, I like to cover the whole dish with pasta sauce so that I don’t end up with any hard shells. Just before the baking time is up, I cover the whole thing with shredded mozzarella cheese and it takes it to the next level!! So good!
