Vegetarian Stuffed Shells






These Stuffed Shells taste so good and are loaded with vegetables!

Ingredients:
1 box large pasta shells
1 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces white mushrooms
8-12 ounce package baby leaf spinach
16 ounces part skim ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 26 ounce can of your favorite spaghetti sauce
16 ounces shredded mozzarella

Cook the shells according to the directions on the box. Saute onions and garlic in the oil. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Wilt in the spinach. Set aside and let cool.
In a big bowl mix ricotta, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add cooled veggie mixture and stir well. Next put a small amount of the spaghetti sauce in a 9x13 dish, just enough to coat the bottom. With a spoon stuff the shells with the veggie mixture. (you will have leftover shells. Just stuff as many as you can). Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the shells, and then sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
