I'm a sucker for simple pasta dishes for weeknight meals and Stuffed Shells is one of my top picks. There is simply something so enjoyable and soothing about stuffed shells. All that gooey goodness tucked inside pasta shells and prepared to flawlessness in a scrumptious marinara sauce. Prepare together a decent plate of mixed greens and present with some supper rolls and you're headed toward the races.
Today I'm offering a great stuffed shells formula to a fun little wind. I adore how flexible this formula is and it would be ideal if you don't hesitate to adjust it to suit your needs and inclinations.
The filling in these shells is very straightforward yet is effectively adaptable. Need to include spinach? Forget about it. Very much depleted solidified cooked spinach can be blended right in. Have some additional Italian frankfurter or ground hamburger lying around? This formula is ideal for utilizing it up! You can either cook it and blend it into the sauce or just add it to the filling before stuffing the shells.
