About Stuffed pasta shells
Stuffed Pasta Shells are a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, known for their satisfying blend of flavors and textures. Large pasta shells are cooked until tender and stuffed with a rich mixture, often including ricotta cheese, mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and sometimes spinach or ground meat. The shells are then topped with marinara sauce and baked to perfection. This dish provides a good source of protein and calcium from the cheese and vitamins from any included veggies like spinach. However, it can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, particularly if it's loaded with extra cheese or meat. Opting for whole-grain shells or light cheese can improve its nutritional profile. With its hearty, comforting appeal, Stuffed Pasta Shells remain a family favorite, offering a balanced choice when prepared with thoughtful ingredients.
