Easy Dinner: Jumbo Stuffed Pasta Shells

What did yall cook for dinner?

Let’s make some Jumbo Stuffed Shells.

You need:

1-Box Jumbo Pasta Shells

1LB Italian sausage

1LB ground beef

1/2 green bell pepper

1/2 yellow onion

Season to your preference.

No my sauce is not homemade. You can make homemade if you want too. Please do you! 🤗

1-jar, Spaghetti sauce, flavor of your choice

1- jar, Alfredo sauce, flavor of your choice

Both mild and mozzarella cheeses. I didn’t measure the amount of cheese I used. Just cover your shells enough until your heart tells you to stop. 🫶🏽

To perfectly prepare jumbo pasta shells for stuffing, it's important to cook them just right so they hold their shape and don’t tear. Typically, boiling jumbo shells takes about 9 to 12 minutes. The shells should be tender but still firm to the bite (al dente). I always make sure to salt the boiling water to season the pasta as it cooks. After boiling, drain the shells carefully and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. I lay them out on a lightly oiled baking sheet so they don’t stick together, making stuffing easier. For those looking for healthier options, whole wheat jumbo pasta shells provide additional fiber and nutrients without compromising taste. They usually have similar cooking times but check the package instructions. When it comes to baking, I cover the stuffed shells with a mix of spaghetti and Alfredo sauces, then sprinkle generously with mozzarella and mild cheeses. Baking at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes allows the cheese to melt perfectly and the flavors to meld beautifully. Pair your stuffed shells with garlic bread and a fresh salad for a complete meal. Adding parsley or basil on top after baking enhances the aroma and presentation. This dish is also great for meal prep and leftover days! The key is to customize seasonings to your preference; I often add chopped bell peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture. Using a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef brings a richer taste that complements the creamy cheeses. I hope these tips help you create tender, flavorful jumbo stuffed pasta shells that everyone will enjoy at your dinner table!
