step by step
Method
- Step 1
Make the meat sauce
- Sauté the diced onion, bell pepper and garlic in a pan.
- Add the ground turkey and herbs and spices, and cook until browned.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar and Parmesan rind.
- Simmer on low, letting the flavors come together.
- Step 2
Cook the pasta shells
- Boil the jumbo pasta shells until al dente.
- Drain and set aside so they stay sturdy enough to hold the filling.
- Step 3
Make the cheese filling
- Combine the ricotta, Italian cheese blend, Boursin cheese and egg.
- Fold in the cooked, fully drained spinach so the filling stays thick.
- Step 4
Stuff the shells
- Take about a tablespoon of filling and stuff each shell.
- Step 5
Assemble in the baking dish
- Layer some of the meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Arrange the stuffed shells neatly on top.
- Add dollops of meat sauce between the shells.
- Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Step 6
Bake
- Bake covered at 190 °C for 15 minutes.
- Bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
