Ingredients
- 24 jumbo pasta shells
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the garlic parmesan cream sauce
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. Transfer to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil; set aside and let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta, pumpkin, Parmesan, egg, sage and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture.
- To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread 1/2 cup cream sauce in the prepared baking dish. Arrange shells in dish, topping with remaining sauce.
- Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve immediately.
