Relax With 3 Delicious Make Ahead And Freeze Dinners

And here is the first of the three delicious Make Ahead Meals.

Spinach-Stuffed Shells

24 large pasta shells
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1lb spinach
750g ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 cup parmesan, freshly grated
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper
2½ cups tomato sauce
1 cup mozzarella, shredded

Cook pasta shells in boiling water for 1 minute less than the package recommends.
Drain shells in a colander and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large skillet heat olive oil.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add spinach and cook until it’s completely wilted. Allow spinach to cool and then finely chop it.
In a large bowl combine ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir well.
Add spinach and stir until combined.
Pour a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish or baking dish.
Stuff shells with cheese filling and arrange shells in the dish.
Cover shells with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
To cook, thaw the shells overnight in the refrigerator and bake them, covered with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes at 375°F or until they’re heated through.
Enjoy!
