Sausage Stuffed Baked Pasta Shells
Sausage stuffed baked pasta shells are filled with ricotta and crispy sausage, baked in passata, and topped with bubbling cheese.
Why This Recipe Works
Frying the sausage first adds depth, while ricotta keeps the filling creamy. Baking the shells in passata keeps everything saucy and tender.
Ingredients Overview
Conchiglioni shells hold the filling, ricotta makes it soft, and mozzarella plus cheddar give a golden, stretchy top. Garlic and parmesan add savory punch.
How to Make It
Cook the shells, fry the sausage, mix the filling, then bake in passata with cheese on top until bubbly.
Tips and Storage
Leftovers keep for up to 3 days. Reheat covered with foil to avoid drying out.
