Steps:
- Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix together the spinach, artichokes, ricotta, 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk together the half-and-half, mozzarella, remaining 4 ounces cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl until smooth and combined. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until warm and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Spread 1/2 cup cheese sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stuff a heaping tablespoon of the spinach mixture into each shell and arrange them in the baking dish seam-side up. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the shells, cover with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, breadcrumbs and parsley, if using, in a small bowl until well combined. Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the mixture over the shells. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
CHEESY BAKED UN-STUFFED SHELLS WITH SPINACH & ARTICHOKES
The flavor of stuffed shells without all the rich sauce and all the work of stuffing the shells, and a nice blend of artichokes and spinach to lighten the dish up a bit. But it is still a hearty casserole and will serve 4 main plates or 8 side dishes. It is just a nice twist on a traditional baked pasta dish.

Steps:
- Pasta -- Cook according to package directions in salted water, but a bit al dente as it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain well and add to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and toss. (Remember to save 1 cup of the pasta water).
- Onion, Garlic and Spinach -- So you don't dirty another dish. Add the remaining olive oil to the pot you cooked the pasta in and add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and cook 2 minutes on medium heat. Add in the artichokes and spinach (breaking up the spinach as you add it); stir well and remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes. Then transfer to the bowl with the pasta and lightly toss.
- Filling -- In a smaller bowl, add the ricotta, egg, nutmeg, Italian seasoning, pepper, 3/4 cup of the fontina cheese, 1/4 cup of the parmesan, and 1/2 cup of the pasta water and mix well. Add this mixture to your pasta and toss. If it seems a bit dry, add the remaining pasta water. At this point taste to see if you need to add any additional seasoning. The cheese is salty which is why I don't add salt right away. But season according to your taste.
- Casserole -- In a 13x9 casserole dish or pan, spray with non-stick spray or Pam add your pasta mixture. Add the remaining fontina and parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and cook another 15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve -- I love a fresh tomato, cucumber, and olive salad with a basil vinaigrette for a simple light side. Enjoy!

Steps:
- For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- While the sauce simmers, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta shells al dente according to package directions. Drain and immediately place them in an even layer on paper towels or parchment.
- For the filling, in a medium bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano and basil. Add the spinach and mix until combined. Stir in the cheeses.
- Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spoon about half of the sauce on the bottom of the prepared pan and spread evenly. Fill each pasta shell with an even amount of the filling (about 1/4 cup per shell, more or less) and place the shells on top of the sauce in the pan - making three rows of eight shells.
- Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the top of the shells. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes. Uncover and bake five or so more minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the shells sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
