Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's ready for baking your Easy Christmas Stuffed Shells.
- Steam your spinach on high heat for about 1 minute until wilted, then chop finely and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta shells, and cook for approximately 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta, pecorino, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well blended.
- Spread marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Stuff each shell with the spinach and cheese mixture and arrange in the baking dish over the marinara sauce.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot, optionally drizzling with extra marinara sauce.
