Chicken and spinach stuffed pasta shells


Yumm! I had these amazing chicken and spinach stuffed pasta shells a few days ago and I needed to share this recipe. I originally got it from Haute Apple Pie, but I just changed the recipe a tad. They were easy to make and quick! This is what you need:

1 box of pasta shells
2 C ricotta cheese
2 chicken breasts
1 1/2 cup of frozen spinach - thawed
2 C shredded mozzarella
1 C grated parmesan
2 cans of tomato sauce
salt
paper

Preheat oven to 375.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and put in the pasta shells with some salt. Cook until the pasta is al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cut the chicken breasts into bite size cubes and cook over meduim heat in frying pan with just a little oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When cooked, add the spinach, just enough to heat up. Dump into a large mixing bowl.

Combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmasan with the chicken and spinach. Mix ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl pour both cans of tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Begin to spoon the chicken, spinach and cheese mixure into the shells and place in a baking dish. I used a tablespoon from my measuring spoons to get the right amount each time.

After your done filling all the shells and placing them into the baking dish, spoon the tomato sauce over the shells generously.

Finally add mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta shells, lightly. Bake for about 20 minutes and enjoy!
