My Mom had Stuffed Shells on the weekly rotation when I was growing up.
Seems Ryan’s Mom had the same idea because he had stuffed shells a lot as a kid. Anyone else out there have the same experience? They weren’t bad, but I definitely got burned out on them. So much so that it has been about 20 years since I last ate a stuffed shell. But, this week changed, all that. See how I tweaked the recipe, added flavor and lightened them up a bit. Word to the wise, don’t skimp on the garlic!
Stuffed Shells Remade
As you can see in the video, I used a pre-made marinara sauce from my local grocery store. But, if you’ve got a killer red sauce recipe, definitely use that. The pasta shells are a blank canvas, and that’s the magic of stuffed shells.
I love the squash in these stuffed shells because it adds some crunch. Too, it adds a little healthy boost, lightening up the original recipe.
As for what to serve with it? I say, keep it simple. Just the pasta and a simple salad like My Family’s Caesar Salad recipe.
Hope you enjoy and happy eating!
