Cómo preparar Sausage Cheese Stuffed Shells With Tomato Mushroom Sauce
- **Make the Tomato Mushroom Sauce:**
- Cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet or Dutch oven until crisp. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, reserving 3 tablespoons of bacon grease; discard the rest.
- Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium-low heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then cook uncovered over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the sauce. Season with salt to taste.
- **Prepare the Sausage Filling:**
- While the sauce simmers, cook 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg. Stir in 15 oz ricotta cheese, the cooked sausage, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- Cook 24 jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until almost al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread half of the tomato mushroom sauce in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish or 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Fill each pasta shell with the sausage and ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the stuffed shells.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 4 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
