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. ;)

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.
