Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 3 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 jumbo pasta shells (conchiglioni)
2 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups arugula
2 cups chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 cup grape tomato halved
Italian parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil add the pasta shells and cook for approximately 9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water being careful not to break the shells. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile prepare the filling. In a large bowl mix together the ricotta and Parmesan. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook 1 minute, being careful not to brown it. Stir in the arugula until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped chicken and stir well. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Add chicken mixture to cheese mixture and stir carefully. Stuff each shell with approximately 1/2 cup of the cheese filling and place in prepared baking dish.
  • For sauce, heat the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not brown. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the cream and milk and whisk until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Remove from heat and add the chives, 1 cup Parmesan, cherry tomatoes and stir gently. Pour sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
30 jumbo pasta shells
3 cups (24 ounces) whole-milk ricotta
2 cups (8 ounces) Italian blend shredded cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 pinches ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large leek, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced into half-moons
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to package directions for al dente. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to touch.
  • Mix the ricotta, 1 cup of the Italian blend cheese, the red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 pinch of the nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and add the leek to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour the wine into the pot and stir to scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and reduce until completely evaporated, stirring. Lower the heat to medium, pour in the cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining pinch nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Fold the chicken and its juices from the plate into the ricotta mixture. Spread 1 cup of the cream sauce onto the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Fill each pasta shell with a spoonful of ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells, seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Ladle the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Italian cheese blend and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese and tops of noodles start to turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before sprinkling with some chives and more red pepper flakes.

Provided by Souxie

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h

Yield 18 stuffed shells, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

18 jumbo pasta shells, cooked al dente
1 (16 ounce) jar Ragú® Pasta Sauce, alfredo sauce, divided
3/4 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and roughly chopped
8 ounces lump crabmeat
1 egg
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 tablespoons diced red bell peppers
2 green onions, thinly sliced
4 ounces chive & onion cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the Alfredo sauce into an 8"X11" glass baking dish and spread evenly on bottom. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, crabmeat, egg, bacon, red bell pepper, green onion, cream cheese, mozzarella, all but 2 tablespoons of the grated Parmesan and 1 tablespoon Alfredo sauce. Mix well with hands.
  • Carefully stuff each shell with about 2-3 tablespoons crab mixture, mounding slightly and packing into pasta shell. Place each in prepared baking dish.
  • Spoon remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over stuffed shells.
  • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, butter and remaining Parmesan. Mix well. Sprinkle evenly over stuffed shells.
  • Place in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until hot and bubbly and breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. You can either make your own Alfredo sauce or use a store-bought brand that you like.
  • Don't overcook the shells. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked shells will be mushy and won't hold their shape well.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. The cheese is what makes these shells so decadent and delicious. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the shells until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

These WW Stuffed Shells with Alfredo Sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
