Stuffed Shells with Butternut Squash Sauce
These Stuffed Shells with Butternut Squash Sauce are one of the BEST things I’ve made in a while. I’ve made stuffed shells like this for a long time so it’s something that I’m rather comfortable with. I thought I would switch it up a little bit and try it out with the Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce that I posted recently: https://www.onlinecook.com/recipe/butternut-squash-pasta-sauce
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Step 2
Start by cooking the sausage according to package directions until it's cooked fully through. Set aside on a few paper towels to absorb some of the excess grease and to cool.
- Step 3
While the sausage is cooking, the shells can also be cooking. Cook to your desired doneness. Drain and set aside to cool enough for you to handle them.
- Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, chopped mozarella, egg, sage, oregano, and onion powder. Once the sausage is moderately cooled down, stir it into the cheese mixture.
- Step 5
In a large baking tray (or 2 medium sized trays which is what I did) pour 2/3 of the butternut squash sauce*** into the bottom of the tray and spread it out evenly.
- Step 6
Evenly space out all of the shells and fill them evenly with the cheese and sausage mixture. You'll put about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each shell. If you have some of the filling leftover, you can add it to some of the already filled shells.
- Step 7
Cover the stuffed shells evenly with the remaining butternut squash pasta sauce and top evenly with the parmesan cheese.
- Step 8
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the cheese on top is thoroughly melted in.
- Step 9
Optional: once out of the oven, top with a bit more parmesan cheese and ENJOY!!
