The BEST dinner for the whole family!
About the Recipe
This was the absolute best! The five of us ate every bit of this dish (whether it was dinner or leftovers). Make this for a group, and I promise everyone will love it!
Ingredients
1lb mild Italian ground sausage
Fresh basil to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
1lb jumbo pasta shells
10oz fresh spinach
16oz low fat cottage cheese
8oz low fat ricotta cheese
1 jar of marinara sauce
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preparation
Step 1
Brown the Italian sausage. Drain fat and set aside. Cook the pasta according to box instructions. Drain water and allow the pasta to cool before handling.
Step 2
In a large skillet, sauté the spinach with a little water. Once it is completely cooked, drain any leftover liquid and mix with the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and sausage.
Step 3
Fill each shell with the with sausage mixture and place in a large baking dish (open side up). Cover with the marinara sauce and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes (until the cheese has melted). I had leftover shells and made some homemade jumbo mac and cheese for the boys!
