Pizza Stuffed Shells




Ingredients
  • ½ lb sausage
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic (or use dried garlic powder if you don' have fresh)
  • ½ cup chopped pepperoni
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 25 jumbo shells
  • 1 (26-oz) jar spaghetti sauce
  • (optional) grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 and lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. I like to split it into 2 smaller pans and cook one for dinner and freeze the other one.
  2. Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package. Drain and cool.
  3. While pasta is cooking brown the sausage in a pan. Add the garlic for the last minute of cooking. Drain sausage.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine sausage, pepperoni, cottage cheese, Italian seasonings, and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  5. Stuff pasta shells with cheese mixture and place in prepared baking dish. Top with spaghetti sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese. Freeze here for later if making ahead of time.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle Parmesan on top if desired. Enjoy!
