Ingredients
  • 16 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups ground Italian sausage
  • ½ cup passata

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta.
  3. Cook the pasta shells until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. As the pasta cooks, heat the vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium and add the spinach, ricotta cheese, salt, and sausage. Cook until the sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  5. Line a casserole dish with the passata.
  6. Stuff each pasta shell with the ricotta and sausage mixture. Place stuffed shells on top of the passata, then top with Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake the shells in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the Parmesan cheese begins to brown.
