Hey there, busy bees! 🐝 We know weeknight dinners can feel like a race against the clock, but fear not—this recipe for stuffed pasta shells is here to save your evening and tickle your taste buds!
### Ingredients:
– 12 jumbo pasta shells (because who wants to stuff tiny ones?)
– 1 can Bar Harbor Foods® natural wood smoked wild herring with cracked pepper (the star of the show!)
– 1 cup ricotta cheese (the creamy goodness you didn’t know you needed)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (because more cheese is always a good idea)
– 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought, we’re not judging!)
– 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (for that delightful crunch)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish and to pretend you’re fancy)
### Instructions:
1. **Boil Away**: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toss in those jumbo pasta shells and cook according to package instructions—al dente is the way to go! Drain and set aside.
2. **Mix It Up**: In a bowl, combine your herring, ricotta, and half of that glorious Parmesan cheese. Give it a good mix—feel free to channel your inner DJ while doing this.
3. **Stuff It Like You Mean It**: Grab those pasta shells and fill ‘em up with your creamy herring mix. Don’t be shy; pack it in there like it’s your last meal!
4. **Sauce On**: Spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (just enough to keep things saucy!). Place your stuffed shells seam-side up and then drizzle the remaining marinara on top.
5. **Sprinkle & Bake**: Top with panko breadcrumbs and the rest of the Parmesan. Pop it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Your kitchen will smell so good, even your neighbors will be jealous!
6. **Garnish & Serve**: Pull those beauties out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Watch as everyone gathers around like moths to a flame—who knew dinner could be this easy and delicious?
