This past week I have been starting some cleaning projects. One of my favorite projects is to go through the pantry and try to use a lot of the foods I have on hand that I may not have fixed during the summer months. There was a half package of lasagna noodles as well as about 9 large pasta shells.  I made a small pan of lasagna and then made Spicy Sausage-Spinach Stuffed Shells.  We gave the lasagna to my son, and we enjoyed the shells.

 

 Boil the pasta shells and place on parchment paper to drain.

 

Combine the sausage, egg, baby spinach, and cheeses.

 

 

Divide the filling evenly between the shells.

Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Serve with garlic bread and a salad for the perfect meal.

These stuffed shells can be prepared a day ahead of time and then baked the next day.  So convenient!

This recipe made 9 shells as that was how many I had on hand.  You can change the amounts for the filling and sauce, depending on how many you are making.
