This recipe is a great way to sneak in those greens! You can also use kale instead of spinach or a mixture of both.
What You Will Need: Shells, 1 lb bag of frozen spinach-thawed, onion, garlic, pepperoni, shredded mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese & your choice of sauce. Im using my canned tomato sauce.
Preheat the oven to 350 & get a large pot of water boiling on the stove.
Place your spinach in a dish towel & ring out all the extra liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, minced onion, minced garlic & diced pepperoni.
Add in all the ricotta cheese. Season with salt & pepper.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella.
Cook your shells just till they are pliable. You want them under cooked because they will cook through when they bake in the oven.
Drain & reserve some of the starchy cooking liquid.
In a large baking sheet, spread out some of your sauce.
Fill the shells with your cheese/spinach mixture.
**Any extra mixture is great over baked chicken, spread over pizza dough, used in a grilled cheese or with scrambled eggs**
Place in the baking dish.
Add in about half of the reserved cooking liquid.
Top with some more of your sauce & a little extra shredded cheese.
Cover & bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil & bake another 5-10.
Garnish with some parmesan cheese & some fresh basil or parsley.
Serve as a side or main dish.
Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
