Large pasta shells filled with a creamy spinach and ricotta mixture, baked in a rich tomato sauce and topped with melted cheese for a comforting, savory dish.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180° Cook spinach in a pan for 2 mins without adding any oil or water. Remove from pan and squeeze out as much water as possible. Roughly chop.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and add the onion. Cook until soft. Add in passata to the pan, season to taste and simmer for around 15 mins.
Step 3
While sauce is simmering, cook conchiglioni in boiling water for a couple of mins less than the time specified on the packet. Once conchiglioni are cooked, drain and set them aside in a flat tray to cool. Drizzle with olive oil.
Step 4
In a large bowl add ricotta, chopped spinach and parmesan. Stir to combine and season to taste.
Step 5
Cover the bottom of a baking tray with sauce.
Step 6
Fill conchiglioni one by one with ricotta filling using a teaspoon or piping bag.
Step 7
Place filled conchiglioni in oven tray.
Step 8
Pour remaining sauce over conchiglioni and sprinkle with parmesan.
Step 9
Bake in oven for 20 mins or until golden brown and pasta is tender.
