About Stuffed pasta shells with tomato sauce

Stuffed Pasta Shells with Tomato Sauce is a comforting Italian-inspired dish featuring large pasta shells generously filled with a rich mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, often combined with spinach or herbs for added flavor. The shells are baked in a vibrant tomato sauce seasoned with garlic, basil, and oregano, providing a fragrant and hearty base. This dish delivers a good source of protein and calcium from the cheese, while the tomato sauce contributes vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants like lycopene. However, it can be high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium depending on the cheese and sauce used. Opting for low-fat cheese, whole-grain shells, and a homemade, lower-sodium tomato sauce can enhance its nutritional profile. Perfect for a cozy family meal, these stuffed shells strike a delicious balance of indulgence and wholesome ingredients.
