Carla and LinkaI were asking for Italian recipes...soooooo...
OK...here's my FAVORITE Italian recipe...this is usually THE "company comin' over" dinner!
Stuffed Jumbo Shells
1 12 oz. box of jumbo-sized shells, uncooked
4 c. (2 lbs.) ricotta chees
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
1 TB. chopped fresh parsley
3/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3-1/2 c. (32 oz. jar) spaghetti sauce
1) Cook jumbo shells according to package directions; drain. Cool in a single layer on wax paper or aluminum foil to keep shells from sticking together.
2) Combine cheeses, eggs, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.
3) Fill each shell with about 2 TB. cheese mixture.
4) Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 13"x9" baking pan. Place stuffed shells, OPEN SIDE DOWN, in a single layer in the pan; cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
5) Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
NOTE: this fills AT LEAST 21 shells, at times I've had to also use a square cake pan for extras!
I really do wanna be a steader! It would fulfill my life-long dream to live in a log home...we already have the plans picked out, just waiting for the LORD to make the way. Can't wait to learn from everyone, so keep those blogs coming.
