SPINACH - SAUSAGE STUFFING



Spinach - Sausage Stuffing image

I made this stuffing the first time I hosted our family Thanksgiving and it has been a requirement ever since. You can use any type of bread with this, but I think pumpernickle & rye are the best combination. Although the list of ingredients looks a bit long, it is easy-peasy to put together, tastes great & has a nice presentation.

SAUSAGE-SPINACH STUFFED SHELLS



Sausage-Spinach Stuffed Shells image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Kosher salt
8 ounces (20 to 24) jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling and brushing
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup jarred marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Make the stuffed shells: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook until just slightly softened but still firm, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drizzle with olive oil and toss; set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and stir until heated through, about 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Combine the spinach mixture, ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, the parmesan, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the filling; set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter with the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the flour and whisk constantly until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the milk and cream, bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg to taste.
  • Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil and pour in about two-thirds of the cheese sauce. Add the stuffed shells and top with the remaining cheese sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes. Uncover and top with the marinara sauce and the remaining 1 cup mozzarella; continue baking until the sauce is bubbly, 15 to 20 more minutes.

ITALIAN SPINACH STUFFING



Italian Spinach Stuffing image

This is an Italian-American turkey stuffing that was invented in New Jersey by Pietronilla Conte, who emigrated from the Italian region of Molise in the early 20th century. Ms. Conte's granddaughter Lisa shared the recipe (which her mother, Carmela, also prepares) with us. "She must have used a stuffing that she knew in Italy," Lisa Conte said of her grandmother. "And she just looked at the turkey as a larger thing to stuff." The gizzards give the stuffing its depth of flavor (like giblet gravy), but you could leave them out, or substitute an equal amount of livers, or 6 ounces of pancetta or bacon.

Categories     stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons olive oil

8 cloves garlic, minced
4 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
2 cups chopped white mushrooms caps
Salt and black pepper
2 pounds well-trimmed chicken or turkey gizzards
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, spinach and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until well mixed and heated through, about 5 minutes. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Finely mince chicken gizzards. (You can do this by hand or in a food processor, but be careful not to overprocess.) Season gizzards all over with salt. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add gizzards and sauté, stirring often, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any drippings, then stir gizzards into spinach mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. When spinach mixture is cool, add eggs, cheese, bread crumbs and parsley and stir until well combined. Transfer stuffing to a 3-quart casserole dish and bake, covered, 1 hour.
