About Stuffed shells
Stuffed shells are a beloved Italian-American dish featuring large pasta shells filled with a delicious mixture of ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and often herbs like parsley or basil. This savory filling is typically complemented by marinara sauce, creating a hearty and flavorful meal. Originating in Italian cuisine, stuffed shells celebrate the rich tradition of using simple ingredients to create comforting, soul-satisfying flavors. Nutritionally, stuffed shells provide calcium and protein from the cheeses, but they can be high in saturated fat depending on the recipe. Opting for part-skim cheeses or adding spinach to the filling can enhance the nutrient profile. While the dish offers energy from pasta carbohydrates, portion control is important due to its caloric density. Served with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, stuffed shells can become part of a balanced meal that delights both the palate and the senses.
