stuffed shells

oh so yummy! this recipe yields 23 shells (i know, weird number)
boil your shells with kosher salt and olive oil. drain and rinse in cool water and set aside.
in a medium bowl, mix together 1 tub of ricotta cheese (usually about 16oz i think) 2 heaping T of cottage cheese, 1/2 bag of shredded mozarella, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 egg, 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese, lots of fresh cracked pepper, and 1 t of kosher salt. wilt about 2 handfuls of spinach over medium heat and add to the ricotta mixture.
spoon about a T of mixture into each shell. Place in a casserole pan that is lined with spaghetti sauce.
you can usually fit 10 shells in a 9x9 pan. i like to make 2 sets of shells and freeze one of them for later!
top with some more sauce and more shredded mozz-bake covered at 350 for 25 mins, and uncovered for 10 more.ENJOY!!
