Description

Delicious and nutritious shrimp and spinach stuffed pasta rolls with a rich cheese filling and roasted red pepper sauce.


Ingredients

  • 12 large pasta shells
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup roasted red pepper sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the shrimp and spinach mixture.
  5. Spread a thin layer of roasted red pepper sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish, then pour the remaining sauce over the shells.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Consider adding a sprinkle of extra cheese on top before the final 10 minutes of cooking for a cheesy crust. Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can elevate the flavor.
