Make Ahead Stuffed Shells (Oamc) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells, uncooked (30 shells)
2 (26 ounce) cans pasta sauce (I use Kroger brand \"Traditional\", it has less sugar in it)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 tablespoons basil
1 (30 ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (16 ounce) cottage cheese (large curd)
2 eggs
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 lb ground turkey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
Preparation
-
Brown turkey over medium high heat and crumble into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool.
Combine Tomato sauces, tomato paste and 1 tbsp basil. Salt and Pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine Ricotta, cottage cheese and two eggs. Add in the last of the basil.
Line the bottom of a 9x13 pan with tomato sauce. Stuff the uncooked pasta shells with cheese/meat filling and rest shells in tomato sauce. Repeat until you have run out of shells and filling (this may take more than one box of shells and will require 2 9x13 pans).
Top pasta shells with shredded cheese. Cover and freeze for 2 months, or, bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. You can bake this from frozen for about 50 minutes (altitude and oven types will vary).
