Sutffed Shells

Recipe from a friend, Mandy, who made this for us. So good! (this picture is not of our dinner we ate it too fast to bother with a photo shoot, but it is pretty close to what they looked like.)



16 jumbo pasta shells
1 - 10 oz frozen spinach
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated onion
2 cups pasta sauce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, cook spinach according to package directions. Drain spinach thoroughly in colander by pressing out extra liquid with large spoon. Cool.

In medium bowl, combine spinach with cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and onion. When pasta is cooked, drain. Rinse with cold water. Preheat oven to 375. Spoon cheese mixture into shells. Place shells in lightly oiled 9x13 baking dish. Pour pasta sauce over shells and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes.

**When I make it I do a couple things differently :) I don't use that much spinach, I just cook and use what I think looks good. I usually use more cottage cheese (1/2 cup more probably) because I like my shells with more stuffing. And instead of fresh onions I just sprinkle in some dried onions. That is how I made the one you had. Enjoy
