Tender pasta shells stuffed with cheese and baked with pasta sauce until warm and gooey. To me they are comfort food at it's finest. The jumbo shells are stuffed with ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, onions and garlic. As noted above, baked stuffed shells are more of an American-Italian dish, but they can be filled with the same fillings as manicotti and ravioli, for example. This recipe has a classic ricotta and spinach, but a meat filling, or just cheese is popular, too.
