Stuffed Shells

This was one of my favorite dinners growing up. It is easy to make and very delicious!

Stuffed Shells

Box of large shells
24 oz can of Pasta sauce

Stuffing
1/2 lb of sausage
1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
16 oz container of cottage cheese
1-1 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz chopped spinach
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS garlic salt

Boil the shells according to the package directions. Cook the sausage until brown and thoroughly cooked. Pour some of the pasta sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 pan to completely cover it. In a bowl mix everything for the stuffing ingredients. Once the shells are soft drain the liquid and when they are cooled down start putting the stuffing into the shells and then put them in the pan on top of the pasta sauce. I usually stuff all the shells that aren't broken or torn first because there are always left over shells. Once you have used all the stuffing pour more pasta sauce over the shells. Use as much or as little as your family likes. Then to top it off sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cook at 350 degrees until the cheese on top is melted and starting to turn brown.

This recipe is easy to omit whatever your family doesn't like. Alter the recipe to your family's likes. This is how I usually make it. You could use hamburger meat instead of sausage or change which cheese you use or how much. I halved this for Keith and I and we had plenty for dinner and lunch the next day.
