LASAGNA STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
• In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach and Parmesan. Add the cooked beef and stir to combine.
• Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs, keeping the stem as intact as possible. Set the pepper halves into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the beef and ricotta mixture into each half, mounding it on top.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the tomato paste with the water until smooth. Whisk in the garlic powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spoon the tomato sauce over the peppers. Sprinkle with the mozzarella.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the oven to broil and broil the peppers 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped basil.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

LASAGNA STUFFED SHELLS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in the shell pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has nearly cooked through but still very firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water.
• While the shells are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the beef and onion in the hot skillet until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease; stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Spread half of the sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and set them into the prepared baking dish. Once all the shells have been filled, pour the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are hot in the center and the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
