Stuffed Shells


{Stuffed Shells}

This is one I've made for years. It is very tasty.
This time of year I love to use fresh herbs from my garden.
This is a wonderful recipe to freeze.
Just lay it out the morning you want to cook them.
Serve with a simple salad and some bread.
Hope you enjoy!

Jumbo Shells, Italian Sausage, Ricotta Cheese, Sour Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Italian Cheese Blend, 1 Egg, Basil, Parsley, Salt, Pepper, and Marinara Sauce

These pans I get at Sam's Club are wonderful.
They are perfect for easy clean up, freezer meals, and for delivering meals.

Cook the sausage and grind in food processor or blender.
You could skip this step. I learned this trick from my momma.
It makes perfect sausage gravy and stuffed shells :)

Place the Ricotta Cheese, Sour Cream, Italian Cheese, Egg,
Herbs, and Salt and Pepper in bowl.
