About Stuffed shells with ricotta cheese
Stuffed shells with ricotta cheese is a classic Italian-American dish featuring jumbo pasta shells filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and often herbs like parsley or basil. These cheese-stuffed shells are typically baked in marinara sauce, resulting in a comforting and flavorful meal. While it provides a hearty dose of protein and calcium from the cheese, the dish can be rich in saturated fat and calories depending on portion size and preparation. Its foundation of tomato-based marinara sauce adds vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants like lycopene. Pairing it with a fresh salad or vegetables can help balance its indulgent nature. Often enjoyed as a family dinner or festive treat, stuffed shells showcase Italian culinary tradition and are a versatile favorite that can be customized with added spinach, lean ground meat, or other nutrient-packed ingredients.
