Creamy Sausage And Shells Food

Just like your favorite boxed shells and cheese, this recipe turns out a dinner that's creamy, irresistible and made in a single pot. But unlike the boxed version, this upgrade will fill up the whole family-thanks to the addition of hearty Italian sausage and Muir Glen™ tomato basil pasta sauce. Cooking the whole meal in a single pot isn't just convenient, it also allows you to build flavor as you go. Here's what we mean: It all starts with browning the sausage until it's cooked through. Removing the sausage but not the rendered fat it leaves behind adds deep savory flavor to the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes that get sautéed next. After your aromatics, you'll add the tomato sauce, which is handy since it'll help deglaze the pan and integrate more flavor into your sauce. With the addition of the broth, you'll have enough liquid to cook your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked through, all that's left is adding the cream and cooked sausage. Serve this up with shredded Parmesan and basil, and you've got a delectable dinner that might just become a part of your regular rotation.

The filling for these easy stuffed shells holds up well. These double as dinner or finger food. The sausage you choose is up to you. Chicken or turkey sausage instead of pork sausage would be great. If you do choose a sausage that's lower in fat, add a little oil to the pan before browning. When making stuffed shells, add a few more dried pasta shells to the water than you will need since some will rip. The filling for this recipe should fill about 16 shells.

I enjoy preparing hearty country breakfasts for the guests at my bed-and-breakfast. This fluffy golden pie, which has lots of cheese and bacon, is a most satisfying entree.-Mark Clark, Twin Mountain, New Hampshire
