Ingredients
  • 20 Large Pasta Shells (1 box)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Slices of bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 1 Box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed & liquid squeezed out
  • 1 1/2 lb (750 g) Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 C Freshly Grated Parmesean
  • 1 1/2 C(or more depending on personal taste) Bottled Tomato Sauce
  • ** I reccomend Classico" Tomato & Basil" or "Four Cheese" Sauce**

Directions
  1. Cook the shells in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente, drain, set aside
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, add the bacon and onion and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes, or unil lightly browned
  3. Reduce heat to low, add spinach and ricotta and stir until well combined
  4. Spread 1/2 C of tomato sauce into lightly oiled baking dish
  5. Spoon the spinach-cheese mixture into shell, sprinkle with grated parmesean then place in dish on top of tomato sauce
  6. Pour remaining sauce over shells, top with additional parmesean
  7. Cook under broiler using medium-high heat for about 3 minutes until lightly browned and heated through
  8. **The second time I made this recipe I added shredded mozarella on top of the shells before putting under broiler.. mm, mm good :)
