Ingredients
- 12 ounces large shells (can sub manicotti tubes if you can't find shells)
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage
- 12 ounces frozen spinach thawed and squeezed
- 2 pound ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper
- 24 ounces marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought I'm not judging)
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan - you choose
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the pasta shells according to package directions, drain and let cool.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage until done, and in crumbles. Let it cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, eggs, mozzarella, garlic powder and seasonings.
- Add the cooled sausage crumbles.
- Add a cup of the pasta sauce to the bottom of a large baking dish (or two smaller ones if you are freezing one).
- Fill the shells with the mixture, and place (filling side up) in the dish.
- Drizzle remaining marinara sauce over the shells.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, and serve.
- Devour.
Freezing directions
- In a foil or other disposable dish, complete to Step 8. Cover with foil, label with "thaw, then bake 30 minutes at 350" or "from frozen cook 1 hr at 350"
- Wrap plastic wrap over the foil, and freeze (I also put this in a ziploc)
- Freeze for up to 6 months.
