Cheese Stuffed Pasta

Recipe Introduction


4 to 6 servings


List of Ingredients




1 package (12-ounce) Ronzoni Jumbo Shells or your pasta of choice
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese - diced or shredded
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups (30-ounces) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 30-once jar prepared spaghetti sauce (or your own recipe)


Recipe



Cooking the pasta: Bring 5 quarts of water to a rolling boil.
Empty contents of 12-ounce package of pasta into boiling water and stir gently.
Return to a boil and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes or until done al dente. Avoid overcooking.
Drain well, rinse with cold water. Drain well and arrange in a single layer for filling.
Making the filling: Mix together the cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Fill the pasta with the cheese mixture. The job can be done with a small spoon and a lot of patients, but a piping bag makes the work a lot easier. Handle carefully so as not to tear the cooked pasta. Do not ovefill.
Preparing the dish: Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with some of the spaghetti sauce. Arrange the filled pasta in a single layer in the pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the filed shells and bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes or until hot.
Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
