Spinach Stuffed Shells

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:25:12 -0500

I love to make these stuffed shells. They are a favorite with my family. This recipe tends to make an "over-stuffed" shell which is what I like about it. If you prefer a little less filling, simply decrease the amount of the ricotta. -- posted by Modaba

Algerian Tli Tli B'djedj - Pasta With Chicken!

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:37:44 -0500

This is our family recipe for the very traditional Algerian dish tli tli. You can make tli tli with chicken or meat - the meat recipe is slightly different & I will post it later. You can use any tiny pasta for this but traditionally homemade tli til pasta OR orzo / bird's tongue that is used. My kids love it when I use the tiny stars or shells also. Traditionally we steam the pasta for this but you can cook it for 4 minutes or so in plenty of lighty salted water before adding the sauce - the pasta needs to absorb quite a bit of the sauce so keep it undercooked.. -- posted by Um Safia

Baked Sausage-Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:58:28 -0400

A Canadian Living hit with the Ontario ZAARians, at our Annual Appy-fest. While this recipe actually calls for mild Italian sausge I used Bajan-seasoning called Delish-Dish in a meatball stuffing. I doubt that many ZAARians have "Bajan Delish-Dish" in their pantry.To stay true to the original recipe, therefore, I shall post the recipe as it appears in Canadian Living.. I like the recipe because of the ease with which ingredients combine to produce an interestingly flavourful filling. Can be used as a main course, or appetiser. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

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.

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

Quick Chicken and Shells With Fresh Mozzarella Cubes

This is a perfect dish for those week-night dinners where you want to get something quick and healthy on the table in under 30 minutes. When first made it I was pretty much cleaning out my pantry and allowing my son to pick out garden ingredients. -- posted by Melanie B.

Walnut and Roasted Fennel Pasta

This is a absolute fantastic side dish. Serve with some grilled steak or chicken and this is just creamy and good. I know it sounds a bit different, but it is really worth trying. The last wedding I catered I had request after request for this recipe. I don't necessarily consider this as a main dish, but a wonderful side dish. -- posted by SarasotaCook

I've played around with this recipe for awhile and this version has become the family favorite. It's also great for potlucks and entertaining. This is a one pan size but you can easily use the whole box of shells and double the rest of the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by MomMakesDinner
