Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

21 large jumbo pasta shells
1 small onion, chopped small
1 Tbsp garlic ( i use the jar garlic and put in a rounded tablespoon)
8 oz ground turkey
10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, zapped in microwave 3 minutes and moisture squeezed out
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 c low fat cottage cheese
1/4 oz grated romano or parmesean cheese, your choice
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
15 oz jar light garlic alfredo sauce, we used bertolli's
6 oz shredded mozzarella more if you like

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucier, add the chopped onions, saute until almost translucent, add the garlic, cook for another minute, then add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is cooked through.
  • 2. Meanwhile cook the shells in boiling salted water to package directions, then drain well.
  • 3. In a large bowl put the rest of ingredients except the alfredo sauce and mozzarella.
  • 4. Add the turkey mixture to the bowl and stir until combined.
  • 5. Fill each shell with 2 rounded tablespoons of filling and place in a well greased 9 by 13 inch pan.
  • 6. Pour the alfredo sauce evenly over the top. I usually reserve the mozarella for the last 10 minutes of baking for extra ooziness.

These shells are a great way to use up leftover pasta. I always have some leftover pasta in my fridge, so I'm always looking for new recipes to use it up.

These shells were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.
