Stuffed Shells

OK Here it is.

The shells are stuffed with Italian sausage, ground beef and mozzarella. You can make it healthier and I will just do that recipe for the 'healthier side'.EXTRA lean beef and fat free mozzarella..I personally will not use fat free mozzarella I think it has NO flavor. You will need uncooked LARGE shells OR Lasagna noodles.
1lb of Lean beef
4 Hot Italian Sausage
4 cups of Mozzarella.
Cook shells or lasagna noodles.. Cool them.
***(I missed a step) SORRY!! In a pan brown beef and sausage(take the sausage out of the casing!!) and mix together. Drain fat and put it in a bowl to cool a bit. Then add the cheese. Put meat & cheese mixture in shells or wrap in lasagna noodles. Put in pan top with sauce and cheese.
OH YOU need my sauce recipe!
Sauce...Paste sauce.
2 large cans of paste
6-8 cups of water
EVOO
1 med onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
3 tbs oregano
2 tsp s and p (Or more if you like! )
1 tbs red pepper flakes (I use about 2 tbs..)
Saute minced onion in pot until transparent. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute. Add paste/water and seasons Cook for a while. Until you are ready. You can also add a can of diced tomatoes for a chunkier sauce. I started added red pepper flakes.. it give the sauce a little more flavor and a little kick.
Bake!! 400 degree oven for 30 minutes check for yummy brownness.. if not 10 min longer!
Any questions??...
The meatless version:
Omit the meat add 1 large container of ricotta, 1 egg, 1/4 c parm cheese to the mozzarella! And follow the rest. You can also add spinach to this. 1 package of chopped spinach.
