@seattlehanddoc MEATBALL-STUFFED JUMBO SHELLS (BAKED) ** one of the best things ever made Ingredients: • 1 box jumbo pasta shells (about 20–24 shells) • 2 lbs ground beef • 2 lbs Italian sausage • ¼ cup minced parsley • 1 cup finely chopped spinach (≈ 3 oz fresh) • ½ cup grated Parmesan • ½ cup breadcrumbs • 4 tsp salt • 2 tsp black pepper • 1 Tbsp minced garlic • ¾–1 cup finely diced onion • 4- 24 oz spicy marinara @carbonefinefood • 4–6 cups shredded mozzarella • 1 cups cubed mozzarella (optional) • 1–2 cups grated Parmesan Instructions: 1. Boil shells: Cook jumbo shells in salted water for ~8 minutes until al dente. Drain, toss lightly with oil so they don’t stick, and set aside. 2. Make the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, parsley, spinach, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Mix until fully combined. 3. Fill shells: Scoop about 3–4 Tbsp (≈ ¼ cup) of meat mixture into each shell. Don’t close them—leave them open and flat like a half circle, filled across the top. ** optional, we stuffed each of them with a cube of mozzarella 4. Assemble: • Spread 24 oz marinara on the bottom of a large skillet or baking dish. • Arrange shells face-up in a circular pattern. • Pour 30–40 oz more marinara over the top. • Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. 5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes. 6. Finish: Remove foil and broil for 2–5 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly crispy on top. #meatballs #easyrecipe #lasagna #husbandwife #dinnerideas @carbonefinefood @lodgecastiron
