SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS WITH SPINACH
The filling for these easy stuffed shells holds up well. These double as dinner or finger food. The sausage you choose is up to you. Chicken or turkey sausage instead of pork sausage would be great. If you do choose a sausage that's lower in fat, add a little oil to the pan before browning. When making stuffed shells, add a few more dried pasta shells to the water than you will need since some will rip. The filling for this recipe should fill about 16 shells.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

- Meanwhile, heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. As the sausage cooks, use a wooden spoon to break the sausage up into small pieces in the pan.
- Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, as well as the thawed and ringed out spinach. Cook until heated through and liquid reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat then stir in the ricotta cheese. Taste for seasoning then adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill each shell with sausage filling and arrange into the baking dish. Scatter mozzarella cheese on top. Bake until the tips of the shells begin to brown and the cheese has melted, about 25 minutes. Serve with a warm marinara sauce (optional).

ITALIAN SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS
Believe it or not, I'm not a fan of cheese and try to avoid it whenever possible. So dishes that are stuffed with things like ricotta turn me off. I created this dish as a compromise to my cheese avoidance and my husband's love of Italian food. Serve this with garlic bread and a salad for a wonderful family dinner.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the jumbo shell pasta. Cook until the pasta is just pliable enough for filling, but no more. Rinse under cool water and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a large baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute, until fragrant. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned. Remove any excess fat and set the mixture aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, and measured salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach. Add the cooled Italian sausage mixture and set aside.
- Add the cream and smashed garlic to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until simmering, stirring occasionally. Once simmering, add the nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce to low heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Whisk in the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon the ricotta mixture into the par-cooked shells, and arrange face-up in the baking dish. If there's any filling leftover, spoon it between the shells.
- Remove the large garlic pieces from the garlic-cream sauce and pour the sauce over the stuffed shells. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.

SPINACH, CHEESE, AND SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS OAMC
I found this in a magazine and decided to try it. So glad I did! I made it for the first time last night and it is really great. I used 9 oz. fresh spinach instead of the frozen spinach, and it worked great. My husband even liked it, and he is not normally a spinach person. I used most of a 26 oz jar for 1/2 a recipe, so you may need more sauce than called for. I'm sure you could use homemade, too. Be flexible! Also, this recipe makes quite a bit. I am cooking for two people, and I froze half the stuffed shells for another time, and there were still plenty of leftovers. Freezing them works great! I flash froze the stuffed shells on a cookie sheet, then dumped them in a ziploc and stashed them in the deep freeze. I let them defrost for a day. Then you just have to add sauce, and cook! Perfect weeknight meal, but good enough to serve to company.
