Cheesy Spinach Shells
- 1 12 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 lbs spinach
- 16 ounces cottage cheese
- 23 cup breadcrumbs, Italian Style
- 34 cup parmesan cheese (I used Parmesan with Ramano)
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 26 ounces spaghetti sauce (or more)
- 24 jumbo pasta shells, cooked
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Saute the onion in oil.
- Once the onions have caramelized, add the spinach and saute for another 3 minutes.
- Puree the onion and spinach and set aside.
- Mix together the cottage cheese, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
- Once mixed, add the onion and spinach puree.
- Salt and pepper to your liking.
- Fold in the slightly beaten egg into your mixture.
- Stuff each shells with however much stuffing you'd like.
- I normally do about two spoonfuls each.
- As you stuff each shell, place them in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
- Pour your favorite spaghetti sauce over the shells and sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until the top is golden brown.
