Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

21 large jumbo pasta shells
1 small onion, chopped small
1 Tbsp garlic ( i use the jar garlic and put in a rounded tablespoon)
8 oz ground turkey
10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, zapped in microwave 3 minutes and moisture squeezed out
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 c low fat cottage cheese
1/4 oz grated romano or parmesean cheese, your choice
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
15 oz jar light garlic alfredo sauce, we used bertolli's
6 oz shredded mozzarella more if you like

Steps:

1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucier, add the chopped onions, saute until almost translucent, add the garlic, cook for another minute, then add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is cooked through.
2. Meanwhile cook the shells in boiling salted water to package directions, then drain well.
3. In a large bowl put the rest of ingredients except the alfredo sauce and mozzarella.
4. Add the turkey mixture to the bowl and stir until combined.
5. Fill each shell with 2 rounded tablespoons of filling and place in a well greased 9 by 13 inch pan.
6. Pour the alfredo sauce evenly over the top. I usually reserve the mozarella for the last 10 minutes of baking for extra ooziness.
