Yummy Recipe

We were craving good Italian food the other night and didn't want our staples that we normally fix. I created a new recipe and thought I would share - very yummy!

Stuffed Shells

1 box stuffed shells, cooked according to package
1 lb organic or lean hamburger meat or you could use rotisserie chicken
1 box organic spinach
1 1/2 jars of Classico Spinach and Cheese Florentine Sauce
1/2 small container of skim ricotta cheese
1 bag Italian Cheese, shredded (or mozzarella, provolone, etc)
Seasonings - Garlic Salt, Pepper, Salt, Basil

Brown the beef with seasonings - drain if needed - saute the spinach in some olive oil - drain - mix together 3/4 beef, 1/2 bag of shredded cheese, ricotta cheese and spinach - add additional seasoning if needed - simmer 1 jar of the sauce with the remaining beef - put 1/2 cup in the bottom of casserole dish - stuff the cooked and drained shells with mixture - arrange in casserole dish - cover with the meat sauce - cover with the remaining 1/2 bag of shredded cheese - bake at 350* with foil on top until bubbly and hot
