Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
Olive oil
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo pasta sauce
1/2 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton), or water
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 cups ricotta cheese (12 oz)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on box; spread on cookie sheet to cool. Drizzle with olive oil so shells don't stick together.
  • In medium bowl, stir together Alfredo sauce and broth.
  • In large bowl, mix chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and half of the cooked bacon. Fold mixture to combine well.

  • Bake about 35 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and filling is hot. Sprinkle with remaining bacon.

For a little fancier New Year's gathering, I like to serve these pasta shells stuffed with cheese and spinach and topped with spaghetti sauce. Complete the meal with breadsticks and a tossed salad. Italian food is loved by all, and the aroma is warm and inviting. -Trisha Kuster, Macomb, Illinois

THE BEST CARBONARA



The Best Carbonara image

Now this is our idea of comfort food. Creamy and rich, it's the quintessential dish for a chilly evening. We like to splurge every once in a while and add a knob of butter to the cheesy egg sauce just to round it out. We've left that option up to you, however. Either way, we can't think of a more classic or satisfying pasta dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
4 large eggs, plus 2 large yolks
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (optional)
1 pound spaghetti
One 12-ounce piece pancetta, cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
  • Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
  • Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.
