MEATBALL-STUFFED JUMBO SHELLS (BAKED) 
** one of the best things ever made

Ingredients:
•	1 box jumbo pasta shells (about 20–24 shells)
•	2 lbs ground beef
•	2 lbs Italian sausage
•	¼ cup minced parsley
•	1 cup finely chopped spinach (≈ 3 oz fresh)
•	½ cup grated Parmesan
•	½ cup breadcrumbs
•	4 tsp salt 
•	2 tsp black pepper
•	1 Tbsp minced garlic
•	¾–1 cup finely diced onion
•	4- 24 oz spicy marinara carbonefinefood 
•	4–6 cups shredded mozzarella
•	1 cups cubed mozzarella (optional)
•	1–2 cups grated Parmesan 

Instructions:
1.	Boil shells: Cook jumbo shells in salted water for ~8 minutes until al dente. Drain, toss lightly with oil so they don’t stick, and set aside.
	2.	Make the meat mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, parsley, spinach, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Mix until fully combined.
	3.	Fill shells: Scoop about 3–4 Tbsp (≈ ¼ cup) of meat mixture into each shell. Don’t close them—leave them open and flat like a half circle, filled across the top. ** optional, we stuffed each of them with a cube of mozzarella
	4.	Assemble:
	•	Spread 24 oz marinara on the bottom of a large skillet or baking dish.
	•	Arrange shells face-up in a circular pattern.
	•	Pour 30–40 oz more marinara over the top.
	•	Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
	5.	Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes.
	6.	Finish: Remove foil and broil for 2–5 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly crispy on top. #meatballs #easyrecipe #lasagna #husbandwife #dinnerideas Lodge Cast Iron USA Sur La Table barilla Carbone Fine Food
