I am a big fan of stuffed pastas, especially when there is more than cheese involved. This is a version of a recipe that I grew up with and really love. It involves spinach, so if that is not something you’re worth trying, skip ahead to the desert part of the meal (poached pears!). These are delicious, and don’t feel like your eating something particularly healthy, but they are still very light and refreshing. In my opinion, this is one of those super meals because it is really easy to make, fairly healthy, and delicious!
Ingredients
1 box of shell pasta
Cheese – a mix of Ricotta, Mozzarella, and Parmasean
Spinach – 1 package of frozen chopped spinach
1/2 onion diced*
2 tsp minced garlic (left overs from the Garlic Knots are perfect)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
3 c tomato based sauce (Marinara or meat sauce works well)
*If you are not a fan of firm onions, you can sauté them lightly before adding them to the mixture.
