While shopping at Book-Trees (brookshires) as Annabelle calls it, at their Penny sale I came up with the idea of stuffed shells. I only wanted to use vegetables! So while looking at all the produce I saw an eggplant... I've never eaten one, much less cooked one! So I had my challenge
I used a yellow and orange bell pepper, medium eggplant and maybe a 1/3 cup of onion. Finely minced. I also boiled a large box of shells.
I sautéed the veggies until they were soft and added about half of a container of fresh spinach (those organic plastic containers from Walmart)
Cooked that about five more mins or until the spinach had cooked down.
I added the entire 8oz package of the Italian blend of cheese
The shells had cooled by the time this was done.
You can use a jar of spaghetti sauce, or make your own!! I like to use a big can of crushed tomatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, season to taste with roasted garlic, salt, pepper and oregano.
Put some cheese on top and bake for about 10-15 mins on 350
And dinner is served!
