Stuffed Pasta Shells

November 16, 2015 by mandyrecipebox

Stuffed Pasta Shells are a family favorite. The Ricotta cheese inside goes perfectly with the pasta sauce and bacon.

You probably wouldn’t think to add bacon to this dish, but I did! It gives it such a tasty crunch and the Feta on top just goes along perfectly with the rest of the cheeses inside the shells. Stuffed Pasta Shells are really pretty easy to make and bakes while you can do something fun like read that book you’ve been dying to finish up.

We couldn’t wait to dig into this dish. Cheeses and bacon and pasta and Ragu, oh my! These Stuffed Pasta Shells are definitely a crowd pleaser and makes enough to feed them all. Add a salad and loaf of garlic bread to complete the meal. It’s great for Meatless Mondays! I used Ragu Six Cheese pasta sauce for my dish.

Ragu

  • A great sauce starts with great ingredients. Ragu is an authentic Italian sauce with rich taste and aroma and rich texture because it’s made the traditional way and with the same standards set by Assunta in 1937. 
  • Ragu lets you see, smell, and savor our longstanding tradition of fresh taste.
  • Instead of using shortcuts, we follow Assunta’s secret family recipe slow-simmering vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic, and fragrant herbs
  • No artificial flavors. No artificial colors. No high fructose corn syrup.

Ragu is heading up the Ready.Set.Cook! contest that challenges home cooks to create new and unique recipes featuring a sponsored ingredient, plus a set list of other contest ingredients.
