Rating
With a sun-dried tomato cream sauce, these stuffed shells will transport you straight to Italy.
Ingredients
- 15 jumbo pasta shells
- 2 c. ricotta
- 1 c. shredded mozzarella
- ¾ c. olive oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped and divided
- 2 tbsp. Freshly Chopped Basil
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ c. low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ c. heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta shells until al dente. Drain, then return to pot and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together ricotta, mozzarella, half the sun-dried tomatoes, and basil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chicken broth, heavy cream, and remaining sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook, 5 minutes.
