Stuffed Shells
| 1 | (16 ounce) package uncooked large pasta shells |
| 1 | pound mozzarella cheese, shredded |
| 1 | (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese or cottage cheese (for less fat) |
| 1 | lb. of meat (hamburger meat/italian sausage) |
| 2 | cups grated Parmesan cheese |
| 1 | (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce (I make my own sauce.) |
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook shells for 5 to 8 minutes, or until just slightly underdone; drain and rinse.
2. Brown meat.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together grated cheese, ricotta/cottage cheese, meat, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese.
4. In your baking pan, spread 2 table spoons of sauce on the bottom of a 13×9 pan instead of grease.
5. Take a pasta shell and place on tablespoonful of cheese/meat mixture. Place it in the pan. Do that with all the shells. Then spread about 1/2 of the sauce on top. (I heat up the other 1/2 of the sauce to place noodles after cooking.)
6. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the dish.
7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 30 min, or until hot and bubbly.
