Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 frozen stuffed shells
1 lb bacon, diced
1 cup onion, finely diced
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chicken stock
3 -1/2 cups milk
1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups Fontina cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place the shells in a 13x9 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sauté the bacon in a medium-size sauce pan until browned, about 10-12 minutes. Remove some of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 1/4 cup. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the flour then add the chicken stock and the milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, stirring constantly. Add in the pumpkin puree, rosemary, thyme, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture back up to a simmer. Pour the sauce evenly over the shells and top with the grated Fontina cheese. Place the pan on the middle rack in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and browned on top.
