Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12-ounce box medium pasta shells
One 28-ounce can peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage (spicy or sweet)
One 20-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash nutmeg
8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella
4 to 5 fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the tomatoes to a large bowl and use your hands to crush them into chunky pieces; set aside.
  • In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add the sausage and brown in large chunks until no pink remains, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind. Add about a third of the tomatoes to the skillet and stir to pick up any remaining browned bits. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, add the spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, egg, garlic, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Add the cooked pasta and sausage and gently mix.
  • Add the pasta and sausage mixture to the skillet. Top with the remaining tomatoes and then the sliced mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the cheese is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with torn basil before serving.

QUICK AND EASY UNSTUFFED PASTA SHELLS (REDUCED FAT)



Quick and Easy Unstuffed Pasta Shells (Reduced Fat) image

This is a dish I make often when I just need to throw a meal together quickly. It reminds me of the stuffed pasta shells my mother used to make when I was a kid but this is more of an 'unstuffed' version. Over the years I have adapted it to be reduced in fat and when possible I use wholewheat pasta shells. I have also made it with ground turkey in the past and that worked just as well. This is quick and easy comfort food for me.

Provided by Sarah_Jayne

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups medium pasta shells
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can 98% fat-free condensed mushroom soup
1/4 cup nonfat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup baby peas, from a can
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to packet instructions. Mine usually takes about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat the oil in a pan and then fry the onions for about 3 minutes until they are just starting to soften.
  • Add the ground beef and brown for about another 3 minutes until just about all of the pink is gone.
  • Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until the beef has totally browned.
  • Add the soup, garlic powder, basil, black pepper and parsley and stir to coat the meat mixture.
  • Add the skim milk and cook over a low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring when needed, until the mixture has started to bubble and bit and thicken up.
  • Stir in the peas and just heat through.
  • By now the pasta should have finished cooking. Drain it and stir the cooked pasta and mix in with the sauce until all of the pasta is coated.
  • Add in the shredded cheese and stir through until the cheese has melted.
  • Serve.
