Ingredients:

- 1 tsp black pepper

- 1/4 cup Solon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed

- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

- 1 jar Bernardo Italian Strained Tomatoes

- 440g Nafsika’s Garden Ricotta style

- 1 cup Nafsika’s Garden Mozza-Pizza Style Shredded Cheese

- 1/2 cup sliced scallions

- 1 pound pasta shells

- 200g Nafsika’s Garden Mozzarella Style Block cheese, sliced into cubes

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

- 1/4 cup fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions:

Boil the Pasta Shells:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente. Drain and separate the shells on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Craft the Flavorful Tomato Sauce:

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the crushed garlic and cook until the edges turn golden (about 2 minutes).
  • Pour in the strained tomatoes, 1 cup of water, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook uncovered until thickened (approximately 20 minutes).

Prepare the Scrumptious Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine Nafsika’s Garden Ricotta style, Mozza-Pizza Style Shredded Cheese, sliced scallions, cubed Mozzarella, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Assemble the Stuffed Shells:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add 2 cups of the tomato sauce to the bottom of an oven-safe baking dish.
  • Using a tablespoon, fill each shell with the ricotta and cheese mixture, arranging them in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Top the shells with more tomato sauce and sprinkle extra shredded cheese over the top.

Bake to Perfection:

  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the pasta sauce is bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish the stuffed shells with fresh basil for a burst of flavour.
  • Serve warm, and savour the delightful textures and flavours of this Mozzarella Marvel.
