Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat olive oil in a wide saute pan over medium-high flame. Add crumbled sausage and cook until no longer pink. Remove sausage from oil with a slotted spoon (reserve pan drippings), drain on paper towels, keep warm.
- In the sausage pan drippings, cook the onion until tender (3 to 4 minutes); add the garlic and cook until it "dances" ( additional minute or so). Drain and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. If desired, season with salt and cook shells according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Pour marinara sauce into a large saucepan; heat through.
- Spoon 1 cup of the marinara into the bottom of a large roasting pan. Reserve remaining marinara and keep warm.
- Cook spinach per package directions; drain well and squeeze dry. Mix with ricotta cheese, mozzarella, eggs, salt, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add cooked sausage, onions and garlic; give a good stir.
- Using a teaspoon, fill each shell with the mixture (DO NOT OVERSTUFF).
- If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the top of each shell. Transfer shells to the prepared roasting pan; arranging them in a single layer.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is heated through.
- Let the shells rest for five (5) minutes before serving. Serve with reserved marinara, warm crusty Italian bread and a freshly tossed spinach & vinegarette salad. Simply deliciousioso!

STUFFED SHELLS FLORENTINE
This recipe is simple to make. I always have marinara sauce on hand, so I can just create any pasta dish in a hurry. Sometimes I make little meatballs and toss them on top of this dish. This recipe is a great vegetarian dish.
