Stuffed Shells with Tomato Sauce Tried this last week and I want it again! All of my family loved this. Even my pickey son. Got the main recipe on the box of DaVinci Shells. Added a few of my own touches. This didn't take nearly as long to prepare as I thought it would.
Sauce recipe: 1/2 cup chopped onion 6 sliced Italian mushrooms 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes 1 small can tomato paste 1 cup water 1 Tbsp. fresh parley 1/2 tsp. crushed red peppers 1/2 tsp. dry red wine 1/2 tsp. fresh basil 1/2 tsp. oregano salt and pepper to taste
Saute onion, garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer about 30 minutes.
Prepare shells acording to box.
Spinach-Ricotta Filling
1 Tbsp. chopped onion 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, and squeezed dry 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 (15 oz.) skim ricotta 1/2 cup Parmesan 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Cook onion in olive oil. Add spinach to heat. Combine egg, cheeses, nutmeg and spinach mixture. Pour 1/2 of the sauce into baking dish. Stuff shells with filling mixture and place on sauce. Cover with remaining sauce. Bake 350F for 30 minutes.
I had some provolone cheese sliced thin that I tore small and placed on top of shells, then added more Parmesan.
