This meal has been a family favorite for the last few years. It can be made with either fresh or a 32 ounce can of tomatoes.
16 Jumbo pasta shells
1 (15 ounce ) container fat-free ricotta cheese.
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 garlic cloves peeled
1 medium white onion slices
6 yellow or red tomatoes, chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
pinch crushed red pepper
- Cook shells according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly under cold running water to stop the cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, buttermilk, egg, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; press in the garlic with a garlic press. Stuff 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each shell and set in the baking dish.
- Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add the white onion and cook until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Add the tomatoes, carrots, basil, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes a thick sauce, 12-15 minutes. Pour over the shells and spread evenly. Cover with foil and bake until hot and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Servings size 4 shells. Serves 4.
