Stuffed Shells with Mushrooms & Cottage Cheese


Stuffed Shells with Mushrooms & Cottage Cheese

I have been making this recipe for many years and it never disappoints. It’s beautifully rich without feeling too heavy the combination of the savory mushrooms works well with the smooth cottage cheese. It’s always a great option to serve a crowd and rarely are they any leftovers. Always a good sign.

  • Ingredients
  • 1 box of jumbo shells
  • 4 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 750 ml container cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions or chives, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 4 cups pasta sauce of your choice

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a large pot of salter water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the shells and cook for approx 10 minutes until the shells are pliable but not too soft. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, saute the mushrooms together with the garlic and butter for 5 minutes. Add seasonings and stir. Remove from heat and place into a large mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese, green onion, parsley and cheese and combine. When the shells are done, drain them and carefully rinse with warm water. This will cool them slightly so they can be handled. Pour a thin layer of the tomato sauce onto the bottom of a large baking dish. Using a spoon, stuff each shell with the cottage cheese mixture and place into the baking dish. Repeat until all the shells are stuffed. Pour the rest of the tomato sauce around the shells and place into the oven. Cook for 15 minutes until bubbly.
