So my wonderful hubby has been asking me for stuffed shells for a very long time now, and now that I had spring break this week, I was finally able to make them for him. However, I made him a little surprise with the shells. Here’s how the conversations went.

So I really didn’t want to tell him, but these shells, not only were they yummy, but I made them a bit healthy too by adding spinach to the inside. They ended up not taking as much time as I thought they would either, so I think this might become one of our regulars.

and of course a little bit of me

Add the pasta shells to a boiling pot of water and cook for 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cover the bottom of the baking dish with some pasta sauce.

Mix all 5 of the cheeses, eggs, seasonings, and a bit of salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Then add the spinach to the food processor along with a little bit of the pasta sauce.

Drain the pasta and fill each shell with 1 1/2 tsp of the mixture. Then place each shell in the baking dish. Top the shells with more mozzarella or parmesan cheese and then with more sauce.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
