Ingredients
- 20 jumbo pasta shells (cook a couple extra in case some of them don’t make it)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 150g fresh baby spinach
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 1 jar (530ml) Authentica Arrabiata Sauce
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large frying pan or skillet, heat up the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, but not brown, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook for 1 minute then add the spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from the pan and let cool.
- Cook the shells according to the package, rinse and drain well.
- When cool enough to handle, squeeze all of the liquid out of the spinach. Place in a large bowl and mix with the ricotta, 3/4 cups of shredded mozzarella, and the egg. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread out 1 cup of Arrabiata Sauce in an oven-proof casserole dish and set aside. Stuff each shell with a generous amount of filling, placing the stuffed shells in the sauced dish. Top the shells with the remaining 1 cup of sauce and the remaining 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
- Bake the dish for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is golden. Remove and let cool slightly before enjoying!
