Fragrant fresh basil makes these stuffed shells special; prepared sauces save time.
Ingredient
- 18 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
- 3/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh basil leaves
- 3 cups diced cooked chicken breast (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups tomato pasta sauce
- 1 container (10 oz) refrigerated Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on package.
- Step 2In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the basil leaves, the chicken, cottage cheese and egg. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon mixture into each cooked pasta shell.
- Step 3Pour pasta sauce into baking dish; spread to evenly coat bottom of dish. Place filled shells over sauce, filled sides up. Drizzle Alfredo sauce over shells. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil.
- Step 4Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and shells are hot. Sprinkle with remaining basil.
Recipe Tips
- Save prep time by making the filling and the sauce the night before. Stuff the cooked shells before guests arrive, and bake the dish while you put together a salad.
- Use a decorating bag without a tip to easily stuff the shells with the chicken mixture.
