Stuffed Shells
These are amazing! I have been making this recipe for almost 40 years now. It has all my favorite ingredients in it….Bob Evans Sausage, onion, cheese, Stove Top Stuffing, sauce and pasta! This is very easy to prepare ahead of time and bake later. This is a little time consuming to make, but easy and worth it!
Ingredients
Boil the shells according to package directions.
Drain and rinse in cold water.
Fill the pan up with cold water and
let the shells sit in the water.
*******************
Cook Stove Top Stuffing according to the
instructions EXCEPT increase the water to 2 cups.
In a large frying pan cook the sausage
and the onion until the sausage is
thoroughly cooked through.
Add the cooked stuffing to the sausage pan.
Mix sausage and stuffing together and let cool.
Pour half the spaghetti sauce into the
bottom of a 13” x 9” baking dish.
Use a spoon and stuff the shells with
the sausage mixture, packing it tightly.
Place stuffed shells, open side up,
on top of the spaghetti sauce in the pan.
.
Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the
stuffed shells and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Top with cheese and bake for 35 minutes.
Garnish with parsley……. DELICIOUS!

Can try this looks good but will have to make my own stuffing as Latvians,well! you know by now are not up high in things outside of their rather closed world. I was amazed this year to find a turkey for roast dinner on Christmas day as here all year round geese are the thing. No meat on them as one finds in loads on a big well fed turkey. I bred and sold 500 birds each winter on farm we had in England.My ancestor gave one to Queen Elizabeth I and so she must have liked the roast bird he gave her so she Knighted him as Royal master of birds. He made so much out of turkeys he built Sizergh Castle in Kendal which is now owned by Government but stands as family home open to public.
