Spinach Stuffed Shells

I had just about forgotten about this recipe until I was talking to my sweet friend Jessie. :) This was my first time making a vegetarian meal, and of course that was due to it being Lent! Adair wasn't a fan, but Mady ate 2 shells by herself. :)

Ingredients:
Spinach (you can use frozen)
Tomato sauce
Large shells
Ricotta cheese
Parmesan cheese
Mozzarella cheese

Boil the shells until just before they are al dente. After they finish, mix the cheeses with fully thawed out spinach (chop fresh spinach if you're going that route). In a casserole dish (mine was a 9x9), cover the bottom with some of the tomato sauce. Spoon the spinach mixture into each shell and set in the dish, the open side of the pasta facing the side (think of how a football is facing prior to kick off. The open side of the pasta is the lacing of the ball). Once the dish is full, top with more tomato sauce. Bake for 20 minutes at 350. I also added a sprinkling of Parmesan and some Parsley prior to baking my shells. It makes a delicious vegetarian dish!

Also, if there are any shells that you didn't stuff, you can freeze them for later use. :)
