Bake cheesy vegetable stuffed pasta shells for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 24 lumaconi pasta shells
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach
  • 2 teaspoons ground thyme
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • 1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add pasta shells and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté mushrooms and garlic until mushrooms are soft, about 7 minutes. Add spinach, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until spinach wilts. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for a perfect bake.
  • Combine creamy ricotta cheese, rich mozzarella cheese, and flavorful Parmesan cheese with the vibrant spinach mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper before filling the delectable pasta shells.
  • Place the stuffed shells in a 9x11-inch baking dish. Drizzle pasta sauce over the shells and sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese is gooey and the shells are piping hot, for approximately 30 minutes.
