Sausage-Stuffed Shells
“I wanted to make manicotti one day but was out of the noodles,” says Lori Daniels of Beverly, West Virginia. “So I came up with this recipe, using jumbo shells instead. They were much easier to work with.”
Ingredients
- 1/3 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup 4% cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 6 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drained
- Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

I made this yesterday for dinner. I used light Alfredo sauce instead of making a tomato base sauce (so I omitted the brown sugar, tomato sauce, tomato paste water, but I did use the Italian seasoning). I also used fat free ricotta instead of cottage cheese. It turned out good, I will have to try the recipe as is sometime as well. I like that it is for just two.The recipe did make 7 jumbo shells for me.
We make this alot except I switch the sauses around the meat one ext on the inside and add extra cheese great dish
Husband and I loved these stuffed shells. Did add some peppers, onions and garlic to the sauce because we like them in sauce for added flavor. Have already made twice once with sausage and once with hamburg.
