SPINACH AND COTTAGE CHEESE STUFFED SHELLS (NO RICOTTA)



Spinach and Cottage Cheese Stuffed Shells (No Ricotta) image

I have made many stuffed shell recipes, and I always end up adding stuff, substituting stuff, or taking stuff out. We are a no-ricotta-for-me house, mostly (unless it's disguised), so I use all cottage cheese. So, here is my version of spinach and cheese stuffed shells. I think they taste very good. Thank you. ;)

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 20 shells, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

20 jumbo pasta shells, cooked (about half of a 12 oz. box)
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I use 2%)
1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (from a jar-I usually have them heaping, because I love garlic)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
fresh ground pepper (about 1 teaspoon)
1 egg
3 cups spaghetti sauce, divided (I use Classico Tomato and Basil from Costco)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine ingredients "cottage cheese" through "egg".
  • Pour half of the sauce in a 9x13 pan (I never measure the sauce, I just pour it from the jar). Fill the shells full with the cheese mixture, and place them into the pan with the sauce.
  • Drizzle the remaining sauce lightly over the top of the shells (or spoon sauce from the jar over the shells, like I do). Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM STUFFED SHELLS



Spinach and Mushroom Stuffed Shells image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Olive oil, for greasing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces jumbo pasta shells (20 to 24)
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
One 15-ounce tub whole milk ricotta
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 to 4 large leaves fresh basil, chiffonade, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 1/2 cups Vodka Sauce, recipe follows, or your favorite jarred sauce, warmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vodka
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Pasta cooking water, for adjusting sauce consistency
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the oil and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and set aside for making the Vodka Sauce. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well. Arrange the pasta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a food processor, add the mushrooms and shallot and pulse until chopped into about 1/8-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the spinach to the skillet and cover to allow the spinach to wilt, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, pine nuts, basil chiffonade, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine the cheese mixture with the mushroom mixture. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the filling.
  • In the skillet where the mushrooms were cooked, add about 1 cup Vodka Sauce and spread it in an even layer. Arrange the stuffed shells in a circular pattern. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups sauce, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella in between and on top of the shells (leaving the tops of the shells mostly exposed). Cover and cook over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with more Parmesan and basil leaves, and serve.
  • In a large skillet over low heat, add the butter, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the tomatoes, cream, vodka, tomato paste, 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, adding more reserved pasta water as needed.

SPINACH-RICOTTA STUFFED SHELLS



Spinach-Ricotta Stuffed Shells image

Jumbo pasta shells stuffed with ricotta cheese and baked in tomato sauce is a comforting classic. For this version, add in loads of cooked greens to the filling to add a fresh and colorful vegetable component, without skimping on the oozy cheese.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 28-ounce cans San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes, plus more for topping
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
9 ounces jumbo pasta shells (30 to 34 shells)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 8-ounce bag fresh spinach
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 large egg, beaten
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes; season with salt. (You should have about 4 heaping cups of sauce.)
  • Make the stuffed shells: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook as the label directs for baking, about 9 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Spread out on a baking sheet.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a large plate lined with a kitchen towel. Squeeze to remove any excess liquid, then finely chop.
  • Put the spinach in a large bowl and add the ricotta, mozzarella, parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest, beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir until combined.
  • To assemble, spread about half of the sauce in the bottom of a 10-by-14-inch baking dish. Evenly fill the shells with the spinach-ricotta mixture using a spoon, or pipe it in using a pastry bag. Arrange the shells side by side, open-side up, in the baking dish on top of the sauce, then top with the remaining sauce.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake until heated through and the sauce is simmering around the edges, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until any shells or cheese poking through the sauce are lightly browned in spots, about 10 more minutes. Let sit 10 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
