Directions: |
Directions:You start by preparing your pans with sauce in the bottom
You dump the filling into a gallon size FREEZER bag and gently knead until it is mixed up
Then you cut a small corner of the bag; about 1/2″. You want the filling to flow easily through the opening, but you don’t want it to pour out too quickly. Don’t cut it too small because there will be too much pressure and the bag could burst. Once you do it a couple of times, you will get the feel of piping cheese into the shells. I fill one side horizontally and then turn the shell and fill the other
Fill all the shells dividing between two 8×8 pans or one 9×13.
Cover all the shells with the marinara sauce. I use Hunts when I don’t have time to crock pot marinara on hand.
Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top
Cover the pans with heavy duty foil labeled with thawing and cooking instructions. This is the most important part when you’re giving a casserole away. It’s handy for people to have the instructions right at their fingertips.
Shells are $1.50 at Wal-mart and the sauce is $1. Cheese prices range. I leave out the parmesan cheese sometimes and it’s still great. You can substitute ricotta, but try the cottage cheese. It makes a terrific ministry meal to give away to someone in need and it’s easy because there’s “no cooking” involved. P.S. Your family is a ministry too, so be sure to double this recipe to have enough for dinner and others in need.
