CHEESY SPINACH-STUFFED SHELLS
This is my own personal recipe. I'm very proud of it because I am still a beginner cook and it was the first recipe I created. You can adjust it to your liking by doubling the spinach or adding some meat. -Laci Hooten, McKinney, Texas

Jumbo pasta shells stuffed with ricotta cheese and baked in tomato sauce is a comforting classic. For this version, add in loads of cooked greens to the filling to add a fresh and colorful vegetable component, without skimping on the oozy cheese.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes; season with salt. (You should have about 4 heaping cups of sauce.)
- Make the stuffed shells: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook as the label directs for baking, about 9 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Spread out on a baking sheet.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a large plate lined with a kitchen towel. Squeeze to remove any excess liquid, then finely chop.
- Put the spinach in a large bowl and add the ricotta, mozzarella, parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest, beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir until combined.
- To assemble, spread about half of the sauce in the bottom of a 10-by-14-inch baking dish. Evenly fill the shells with the spinach-ricotta mixture using a spoon, or pipe it in using a pastry bag. Arrange the shells side by side, open-side up, in the baking dish on top of the sauce, then top with the remaining sauce.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake until heated through and the sauce is simmering around the edges, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until any shells or cheese poking through the sauce are lightly browned in spots, about 10 more minutes. Let sit 10 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
CHEESY BAKED UN-STUFFED SHELLS WITH SPINACH & ARTICHOKES
The flavor of stuffed shells without all the rich sauce and all the work of stuffing the shells, and a nice blend of artichokes and spinach to lighten the dish up a bit. But it is still a hearty casserole and will serve 4 main plates or 8 side dishes. It is just a nice twist on a traditional baked pasta dish.

Steps:
- Pasta -- Cook according to package directions in salted water, but a bit al dente as it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain well and add to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and toss. (Remember to save 1 cup of the pasta water).
- Onion, Garlic and Spinach -- So you don't dirty another dish. Add the remaining olive oil to the pot you cooked the pasta in and add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and cook 2 minutes on medium heat. Add in the artichokes and spinach (breaking up the spinach as you add it); stir well and remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes. Then transfer to the bowl with the pasta and lightly toss.
- Filling -- In a smaller bowl, add the ricotta, egg, nutmeg, Italian seasoning, pepper, 3/4 cup of the fontina cheese, 1/4 cup of the parmesan, and 1/2 cup of the pasta water and mix well. Add this mixture to your pasta and toss. If it seems a bit dry, add the remaining pasta water. At this point taste to see if you need to add any additional seasoning. The cheese is salty which is why I don't add salt right away. But season according to your taste.
- Casserole -- In a 13x9 casserole dish or pan, spray with non-stick spray or Pam add your pasta mixture. Add the remaining fontina and parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and cook another 15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve -- I love a fresh tomato, cucumber, and olive salad with a basil vinaigrette for a simple light side. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the shells, cover with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, breadcrumbs and parsley, if using, in a small bowl until well combined. Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the mixture over the shells. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
