DELICIOUS NO-BOIL PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a casserole dish add the pasta, sausage, diced tomatoes with juice, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir.
• Pour the heavy cream and chicken stock over top and make sure that all of the pasta is submerged.
• Cover with two layers of aluminum foil and make sure it is very well sealed.*
• Put it in the oven until the pasta is tender, about 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and the Parmesan.
• Return to oven uncovered just until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let the pasta bake rest uncovered for 15 minutes before serving. This is important as the sauce really thickens up in this time.

NO-BOIL STUFFED SHELLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

• Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pipe the ricotta mixture into the shells and arrange them opening-side up in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce and 1 1/2 cups water.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil, top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and bake until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the cheese is browned, about 10 minutes more. Let cool 10 minutes. Top with the remaining parsley before serving.
