List of Ingredients




1 box jumbo pasta shells
1 container of lasagna filling (can be found where the ricotta cheese is)
1 jar of favorite spagetti sauce
1/2 to 1 cup (depending on preference) shredded cheese (mozzerella, parmasan, or mix)

Recipe



Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse and cool.

Stuff each shell with a spoonfull of lasagna filling (this is a mix of ricotta and other cheeses, and herbs), and place into a baking pan, like a 9x13.

When all shells have been stuffed and placed in the pan, pour spagetti sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sauce.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, until heated through.

Note- I have mixed chopped spinach into the lasagna filling for added color/flavor/nutrition. I'd guess about 1/2 cup, if you wanted to try this.

I'd serve this with a big garden salad and a loaf of crusty french bread, or garlic bread would be good too. Your broccoli side dish would also be a nice accompaniment.
