Vibrant Green Sauce

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering how we get this beautiful green sauce coated all over the jumbo shells! The sauce is very easy to make, and you can prepare the first half of it in advance if you really want! It’s filled with oven charred poblano peppers, spinach, cilantro, jalapeno, and tons of garlic! You’ll need a food processor to mix everything up, but once that’s done, the best part is pretty much ready!

Mushroom & Zucchini Filling

I love a classic stuffed shell with spinach & ricotta, but today I needed to do something different. Since our sauce is so rich and already contains spinach, I figured we could use some vegetables that give a good texture to the dish. Mushrooms and zucchini pair so well together, and they are pretty good veggies to use as a “stuffing”. Of course we have some onion in there as well, along with all the good seasonings! This filling tastes delicious even on it’s own, so you can do more than just stuff it in shells!

Jumbo Pasta Shells

To be quite honest, I was going to make this into a lasagna instead of shells. I quickly changed my mind because I thought that the mushroom & zucchini filling would get too messy if it was in between layers of pasta. However, if you were to use other shapes like rigatoni, ziti, or even fusilli, I think this would be GREAT! Stuffed shells are perfect in my opinion because they hold the filling so well!
