Stuffed Pasta Shells ( or as Hollystar calls it WFDL?)

This was tonights Dinner at KiS's house....

1 box of pasta shells (about 4 cups cooked, medium)

1 medium sized container of extra smooth ricotta
3/4 cup of fresh finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp of minced sundried tomatoes
1 clove of minced garlic
4 minced green onions
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1/2 tsp of fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp of garlic and herb Epicure spcie mix (optional)

Mix it all together and set aside until pasta is cooked al dente (and cooled with cold water). Pre-heat oven to 350degrees.

A jar of your favourite pasta sauce (of homemade if your ambitious)
1 small tin of tomato paste

Place a slim coat of sauce along the bottom of a baking dish (about 1/3 of your sauce).

1 cup of grated mozza
1 cup of freshly grated parmesan

Stuff shells with ricotta mixture and line up on their sides over the pasta sauce. Cover with remaining pasta sauce and mozza/parm mixture.

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes then broil until cheese is bubbling. Sit down and eat.

Side note: this serves about 6 or 8 as sides. It isn't a cheap dish but would make great lunches as well.

HEY! i like to abreviate things that make no sense!!!)

well, we went out for our anniversary dinner with out the baby tonight. we had a great time. it was all about eating at our FAVOURITE slummy pizza place that has the wall0beer. we ordered a couple slices of a pesto, garlic, feta, and tomato pizza. after pizza we went accross the street to a smancy (aka. fancy) eatery and had a plate of housemade salamis and procutto with a couple glasses of wine and then desserts. ben ordered some fabulous housemade itallian cookies and i had a chocolate and walnut torte. WONDERFUL MEAL!!!

wall'o'beer huh? interesting....but good food merits almost any other compromise. i want chocolate walnut torte. my dessert consisted of watermelon, and then i peed all night.

Kristi said...

I want Baked Alaska for some reason, since we are talking desserts.

Why isn't there a place that has a WallODessert? now THERE'S an idea!
