Need something quick and good for dinner tonight? Here is something:

Ingredients

• 1 box jumbo shells
• 32oz container ricotta cheese
• ½ cup parmesan cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup diced onions (sautéed)
• 2 cups chopped spinach (cooked)
• 1 tbs chopped thyme
• 1 tbs chopped oregano
• 1 32oz can of pasta sauce

*preheat oven 350 degrees*

Shells

In a large stock pot of boiling water add the box of jumbo shells. Boil for about 10 minutes or until tender. Do not overcool, then strain and cool.

Filling

In a large mixing bowl add the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, spinach and sautéed onions; mix it all with a spoon. With a small spoon or with your hands; fill each shell with a generous amount of filling until shells are all gone or the filling is all gone. (Whichever comes first.)

Cooking

In a 9x9 inch pan; evenly coat the bottom of the pan with ¾ of the can of pasta sauce. Place the shells in the pan with the open side of the shell up. Once the pan is full; using the rest of your pasta sauce, cover your shells. Top with the 1 cup of mozzarella cheese left, and put in the oven uncovered for 15-20 minutes. 

Enjoy!
