I loaded the shells with vegetables and lentils along with some cheese to make a deliciously hearty, but still plant-based dinner.

- This post is brought to you in partnership with Hunt's.
- Heat a medium dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and garlic and cook until the garlic fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and nestle in the carrots, red onion and basil sprigs. Bring to a steady simmer and adjust the heat to maintain the simmer. Cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally or until reduced by a half and the carrots are soft all the way through. Remove the onions, basil and carrots and discard. Stir in the remaining oil and salt. Using a stick blender, puree to desired consistency. You should have about 3 1/2 cups of sauce

- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan followed by the shallot and a 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 2 minutes stirring often or until soft and fragrant. Add the fennel, broccolini and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring often, for 6 minutes or until the fennel and broccolini are tender. Remove from the heat and stir in the lentils. Cool slightly. Stir in the ricotta, oregano, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spoon 3 cups of the sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Divide the filling among 20 shells and nestle them into the sauce. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 cup sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.

STUFFED VEGETARIAN SHELLS
When my aunt first told me about these shells, they sounded like a lot of work-but the recipe whips up in no time. Sometimes I add a little cooked bacon to the ricotta filling. -Amelia Hopkin, Salt Lake City, Utah

ULTIMATE VEGETABLE STUFFED SHELLS
This was sent to me by a friend a couple of years back. And according to her ... she found it on the web. Being a vegetarian she was always looking for some unique ways to enjoy traditional dishes since her boyfriend was a "meat eater.". Now her pasta, and cheeses were tailored to her diet requirements so I tailored it to mine. Now if you want, you are welcome to make your own tomato sauce, etc. and I do sometimes, but there are some quality pasta sauces out there. When my tomato plants are flourishing, absolutely make my own sauce. I changed a few ingredients, but these are definitely worth it. It is a little work but so well worth it and you will certainly have leftovers. I served a chilled romaine salad with a blue cheese vinaigrette and some crusty Italian bread with a basil butter. This is good for a weekend dinner, or company. They also freeze very well.

Steps:
- Pasta -- Cook shells in boiling water until al dente according to directions. Don't over cook. Remove to a pan lined with parchment so they won't stick and just let them cool.
- Filling -- Now a food processor is what you need for this, and it will take a few times to use but you will see how easy it is. First - Add the cottage cheese and puree until smooth. Add to a large bowl.
- Second - Add red pepper and pulse a couple of times until fine minced, NOT a puree, just minced. Then add to the bowl with the cottage cheese.
- Third - Add the mushrooms and again, just pulse a couple of times until minced. Again add to the cottage cheese bowl.
- Fourth - Add the spinach, same thing, don't make it a puree, just well minced. Then add to the bowl.
- Fifth - Add the shredded zucchini, shallots and chopped olives.
- NOTE: I shred the zucchini and then lay on a paper towel with just a sprinkle of salt to let it drain so it is not too wet or watery. It really helps.
- Six - Add seasonings, bread crumbs and cheeses to the vegetable and cottage cheese mix and blend.
- Shells -- Stuff your shells. Don't worry, over stuff and fill them good.
- Casserole time -- Add about 1/2-3/4 cup sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 pan (sprayed with pam) to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the shells, it should be just the right amount to fill in the pan. Spoon the extra sauce over the top, be sure to get a little of sauce on each shell. Then top with the remaining mozzarella, a little on each shell.
- NOTE: Make sure that the shells fill up the pan you don't want them rolling around in the pan. You want a tight fit or where they are all snug. You can always use a smaller pan if necessary, but for me a 13x9 usually works out well.
- Bake -- 375 for about 40 minutes (note, I have made this in a couple of different ovens and one time it was bubbly and hot in 30 minutes, so just check after 30 minutes to be safe. It really has to do with you oven temperature, but I have found 375 seems to work best). I covered for 30 minutes and then uncovered for the last minutes of cooking time to get the cheese bubbly.
- Enjoy! Trust me, even meat lovers will love these.

STUFFED SHELLS III
This recipe is a hit wherever you go. It is a very rich and cheesy meal and looks like a deep-dish pizza when done. I altered what I was originally given because I did not like cottage cheese and added other ingredients that I thought it deserved.

VEGETARIAN SKILLET STUFFED SHELLS
Stuffed-shells don't have to be a weekend project. This one-pan, stovetop-only version turns mushroom-and-spinach stuffed shells into an easy weeknight dinner. The quick but deeply flavorful sauce is made by dressing up jarred marinara sauce with garlic browned in butter and crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Cook shells in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 9 minutes; drain. Run under cold water to stop the cooking; drain again.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release juices, then are dry again and nicely browned, 5-6 minutes; season with black pepper and 1 tsp. salt. Reduce heat to medium, add wine, and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. Add spinach, cover, and cook until beginning to wilt, 1-2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is completely wilted and most of the liquid is evaporated, 2-4 minutes more. Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl; reserve skillet.
- Cook garlic and butter in reserved skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add marinara sauce and red pepper and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 6-8 minutes.
- While sauce cooks, add ricotta, 3 oz. Parmesan, 2 Tbsp. oregano, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt to mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Spoon about 2 Tbsp. ricotta mixture into each shell. The shell should be filled to capacity but not overstuffed.
- Nestle stuffed shells into hot sauce in skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until shells are warmed through, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining 1 Tbsp. oregano.
