Comment préparer Ricotta Spinach Chicken Stuffed Pasta Shells

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook pasta shells according to package directions, but only until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, wilt 10 oz fresh spinach in the microwave until tender. Drain well and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop finely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 15 oz ricotta cheese, 5 oz cottage cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently fold in the wilted spinach.
  5. Lightly brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
  6. Fill each pasta shell with the ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine 24 oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce and 1 cup chicken broth (vegetable broth for vegetarian option).
  8. Pour the sauce over the stuffed shells. If adding chicken, arrange 1.5 cups cooked and shredded chicken (optional) over the sauce.
  9. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the shells.
  10. Bake, covered, for 45-50 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Uncover for the last 10-15 minutes to brown the cheese slightly.
  11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
