Stuffed Shells

I finally started to feel better yesterday so I made stuffed shells. I stuffed 28 shells with this recipe. 14 of which I cooked for last night's dinner and 14 that are frozen for another time. I tell you that so you can adapt it according to the size of your family. You may need to use all 28 shells and also the whole jar of sauce. Eric's mom came for a visit after Trey was born and made a similiar recipe but froze several meals worth. I was inspired and grateful.

3 links Italian sausage
28 jumbo shells
2 TB pesto
24 oz. cottage cheese
2 oz shredded parmesan cheese
1 jar of fav spaghetti sauce or about 3-4 cups of homemade sauce
1 cup mozzarella sauce

Brown the sausage while you cook the noodles. Pour half of your jar of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of your casserole pan and place the noodles on top of the sauce. Mix the cottage cheese, pesto, parmesan cheese, and Italian sausage. Put the mixture in a ziploc and snip the corner. Gently squeeze a bit of the mixture into each shell. Top each shell with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 for approximately 25 minutes. Yum.

What were the older two eating? No, I didn't make them homemade pizza, or french bread pizza, or tortilla pizza. They got frozen pizza. I did cook the frozen pizza for them if you were wondering. Some day, and I hope soon, they will like pasta. They just don't know what they are missing.
