Provided by NoFailRecipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ pounds ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce, divided
18 piece (blank)s jumbo pasta shells
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (16 ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
¼ cup fresh basil
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1/2 of the ground beef with a big pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the beef is seared and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and cook the remainder. Set all meat aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onion. Saute until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and oregano, followed by the ground beef and one jar of sauce. Stir to combine and reduce to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Strain; feel free to reserve some pasta water to add to the sauce if you like.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in another pan over medium heat and add the garlic. Saute until lightly golden. Transfer garlic to a mixing bowl with ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, basil, and lemon zest and juice. Add salt to taste.
  • Pour remaining tomato sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells followed by the meat mixture. As you finish stuffing each shell, place it in the sauce. Top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are hot in the center and the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

18 jumbo pasta shells
1 ½ pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste

Once all the shells have been filled, pour the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are hot in the center and the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

JAM ROLY-POLY



Jam roly-poly image

This jam roly-poly is simple to make, comforting and sure to bring back memories of traditional school dinners

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

50g salted butter, cold and cut into chunks, plus extra for greasing
250g self-raising flour, plus extra for rolling
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out
50g shredded suet
150ml milk, plus a drop more if needed
100g/4oz raspberry or plum jam, or a mixture
custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
  • Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
  • Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
  • Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.
