STUFFED JUMBO PASTA SHELLS



Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells image

This is an extremely easy recipe for one of my favorite meatless Italian meals. You can use this as a basis for many other wonderful, delicious meals. Add your own ground Italian sausage right in with the cheese mixture. Choose your own sauce, or any one of the delicious onee on the shelf of your supermarket. You'll love this, and your own touches will make it special! Note**: Add the salt to the water in which you will cook the pasta only AFTER the water has come to a boil. If you add it to the water before it boils, it will hinder the boiling process.

These are a family favorite! I use my Spicy? Sweet? Marinara sauce recipe #125116 for this recipe. This makes a full box of pasta shells, which is a lot, but this recipe is easily cut in half.

LOW FAT CHEESY VEGGIE BAKE (CROCK POT)



Low Fat Cheesy Veggie Bake (Crock Pot) image

Pretty much a basic weeknight meal -- this is not gourmet, but it is warm and filling and easy to make it. If you are expecting something gourmet that will knock your socks off then please don't stop. However, this is quite tasty and filling while meatless! We will add leftover grilled chicken on top (or whatever leftover meat we have -- pork tenderloin, steak, pork chops etc). Also -- this forms a thin almost soup like sauce -- if you want it thicker then use half the soup, but we like ours thin so it really gets in the rice :) This is also really good served over baked potatoes! This is just "simple food" and it adjusts well to more or less spices depending on your personal tastes!

Tips
  • Cook the pasta shells al dente: This means that they should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them. Cooking them for too long will make them mushy.
  • Use lean ground turkey: This will help to keep the dish low in fat. If you prefer, you can also use ground chicken or beef.
  • Load up on the vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini. Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
  • Use a low-fat cheese: This will help to keep the dish low in calories. If you prefer, you can also use a regular cheese, but just be aware that the dish will be higher in calories.
  • Don't overstuff the pasta shells: This will make them difficult to eat. Aim to fill each shell about 3/4 full.
  • Bake the pasta shells until they are golden brown: This will give them a nice, crispy texture.
