Stuffed Shells

Fri, 29 May 2009 02:10:00 -0400

A hearty and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone in the family, even the vegetarians. A perfect supper for a crisp fall evening. Pair it with a green salad, and you are good to go. My youngest son, Justin, does not like tomato sauce; I cook his shells separately placing some milk in the bottom of the dish so they stay moist. Tip: For a change of pace, add fresh chopped spinach, prosciutto ham, fresh chopped mint, and some pine nuts to the cheese mixture. Fill some of the shells with the basic mixture for the kids and fill the rest with the additions for the adults or adventuresome eaters. My grandmother always included fresh mint; it adds an unexpected and worthwhile lift. Time Saving Tip: Double the recipe and freeze the extra shells for dinner at a later date. These shells will keep well in the freezer, and you do not have to defrost, just add an extra 10 to 15 minutes to baking time. Servings: 6 Preparation Time: 20 minutes Baking Time: 30 minutes -- posted by courtneymcoker

Ranch Chicken Pasta Salad

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:58:49 -0400

It's too gorgeous out to spend much time in the kithen, but I was pretty impressed how a package of Kraft Classic Ranch with Bacon Pasta Salad can be doctored up to taste homemade. I threw in an extra tomato because it tastes fresher and some extra chives. You could probably top this with nuts or cheese or olives...whatever your heart desires. I think this would make an easy potluck dish or a whoops we have unexpected company and now what are we going to feed them last minute meal.

This recipe came about at the last minute on Memorial Day. I needed something to take a to a barbeque, but didn't want to go to the store. My husband suggested shells, tuna and peas, all things we had on hand. I thought, ewww, sounds gross in the heat, but, I whipped it together. It was a huge hit. So much so our kids, my sisters and niece request it frequently. I'm estimating the measurements for the dressing, as I don't usually measure. -- posted by nanner18411

"not so Italian" Butternut Stuffed Shells

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:49:50 -0400

So stuffed shells don't always have to be all cheese, spinach, tomatoes, beef or sausage. This gives a nice lighter version, with none of the traditional parmesan or mozarella cheeses. It is a rich - but lighter at the same time dish. This is great served as a nice light "NO meat" dinner with a fresh arugula salad or fresh fall salad with diced apples and pears and a tangy honey vinaigrette would be amazing with this dish. Originally, I had this dish at a small dinner party quite a few years ago. The host hated tomatoes and most traditional Italian dishes, so this was her version of stuffed shells. Well I loved it. She served it with sauteed spinach and a fresh simple tomato salad on the side. I was lucky enough to get the recipe and with a few changes over the years for my taste, this has become one of my favorites. -- posted by SarasotaCook

My Kids Favourite Pasta Meal.

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:44:18 -0400

Despite the fact that my two young children go through picky phases, they have decided that they both LOVE this pasta. DS especially can't get enough of the stuff & I am very happy as it's a healthy, filling meal suitable for all the family. I use the wholewheat tiny pasta shells (sold as conchigliette) but you can use any small pasta really. We like to serve this with a green salad & crusty bread! This is also a nice dish to pulse in the blender for older babies. -- posted by Um Safia

Sarasota's Light Version of Pasta Caesar Salad With Chicken

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:43:02 -0400

This originally came from a cookbook which I sold. I think Cooking Light or Prevention Magazine, but I just copied the recipe on a index card so this is all I have. Besides I think I changed a few things along the way. Well, regardless, I loved this because it combines all the flavors of a caesar salad without the calories. The arugula bumps up the flavor and the dressing on this is light and simple but still full flavored. Now originally it didn't have chicken but one day I had 6 or so chicken tenders and decided to pan saute them and add it to the salad. I love the extra flavor of the breaded chicken to the salad. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Vegan Spaghetti Casserole

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:45:34 -0400

This is a nice change from the typical burger or parmesan topped spaghetti sauce. Easy, tasty and the kids like it! I also like that it is a one dish meal. You can use any small pasta in place of the wheat. I use home canned tomato puree but you can replace that with two 28 ounce cans of tomato sauce and 2 cups of water. Serve on top or on the side with frozen corn that is steamed. -- posted by RussianMama

Three-Cheese Jumbo Shells

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:05:53 -0400

This is a Taste of Home recipe that I found in their ground beef cookbook. I love that it features a super simple tomato-beef sauce. I hate the taste of commercially prepared spaghetti sauce. It is simple enough to throw together during the week, and special enough to be featured as part of a holiday meal or for guests. I haven't tried it yet but I would imagine this would be a good recipe to make ahead and then freeze, or refrigerate overnight and bake after it is thawed if you are short on time. -- posted by Megan V

We love this dish for Fall dinners. It is very good and a good use for squash. I tried to make sure it isn't already on Recipezaar. I didn't want anyone to miss having a chance to enjoy this dish during Autumn. Sometimes I add some sliced black olives to the sauce. My family loves black olives. This is from my notebook of very old recipes that I am trying to put on Recipezaar for safe keeping, so I don't know where it originally came from. -- posted by Chef #711393

Ultimate Vegetable Stuffed Shells

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:37:58 -0400

This was sent to me by a friend a couple of years back. And according to her ... she found it on the web. Being a vegetarian she was always looking for some unique ways to enjoy traditional dishes since her boyfriend was a "meat eater.". Now her pasta, and cheeses were tailored to her diet requirements so I tailored it to mine. Now if you want, you are welcome to make your own tomato sauce, etc. and I do sometimes, but there are some quality pasta sauces out there. When my tomato plants are flourishing, absolutely make my own sauce. I changed a few ingredients, but these are definitely worth it. It is a little work but so well worth it and you will certainly have leftovers. I served a chilled romaine salad with a blue cheese vinaigrette and some crusty Italian bread with a basil butter. This is good for a weekend dinner, or company. They also freeze very well. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Shells Stuffed With Fresh Tuna Salad and a Tomato Vinaigrette

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:15:50 -0400

This is quick, easy, and makes a great light dinner. I love salads, and love to try to come up with something new that is still hearty, satisfying and easy. I love to serve this with a hearty creamy white bean soup, or maybe a fresh garden potato soup or your favorite. Also, fresh grilled asparagus, grilled zucchini or marinated mushrooms or some green beans. I serve these pretty shells over a small bed of lettuce and let the fresh tomato vinaigrette be the dressing for that as well. One last note ... you can use canned or packaged tuna (I prefer the packaged, much nicer texture), but I use fresh tuna for this. It literally takes 5 minutes or less to saute, let it cool as you cut up and prepare everything else. Stuffed shells and then drizzled with a fresh tomato vinaigrette over fresh greens makes a great salad option to that every night tossed salad. I don't like this as a cold salad but room temp, I find the room temp really accents the flavors rather than hides them. -- posted by SarasotaCook

You'll love this, and your own touches will make it special! Note**: Add the salt to the water in which you will cook the pasta only AFTER the water has come to a boil. If you add it to the water before it boils, it will hinder the boiling process. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Shrimp Pasta Salad With Dry Mix

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:06:30 -0500

This recipe was one that a person was able to purchase as a dry mix and add the remainder of the ingredients fresh. The person who made these 'Carla' printed a book of the recipes and sold it and quit making them herself. This is handy to have made up in packets and then put together when wanted. -- posted by Colorado Lauralee

Pasta Shells With Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:34:41 -0500

If you've always thought that you dislike Brussels sprouts, you've probably never tried them in a combination like this. Mild chicken tames the strength of the sprouts while garlic, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and Parmesan unite the two main ingredients and complement them both. Frozen Brussels sprouts are surprisingly good in this recipe, too, though not as fine as fresh. -- posted by Chef mariajane
