#stuffedshell #stuffedshells #valentinesdayrecipes #valentinesdayspecial #valentinesdinner

We always love pasta whenever we can and quick  pasta dinners are truly Lifesavers but sometimes   something more involved is well worth it just  like these stuffed jumbo shells with the homemade   amatria sauce amatria is an Italian sauce which  originates from the Roman town of Amat this town  

During the month of August would offer a huge  feast where the main attraction was a butini   which is a thick and Hollow spaghetti and this  sauce traditionally this sauce is made up of   onions tomatoes and pork gel but I’ll be using  Panera in my version but if you have Guan chal  

That you can find easily then I would say you use  that instead this recipe is part of the # food   of Love collaboration so be sure to check out all  the other awesome recipes and celebrate an amazing  

Valentine’s Day so get that water up to a rolling  boil first and start start cooking up your pasta   now these shells do cook for longer than let’s say  a regular spaghetti or fucini roughly between 14  

To 16 minutes just depending on the kind that you  get they are really really thick so while that is   cooking on the side we can focus on the Amat Chana  sauce now we have some olive oil and butter that  

I’m heating up on this pan and once that butter  is molden then you add in shallots I think the   Shadows just add like a really nice subtle kind  of sweetness um and it’s not as strong as onions  

But you can replace it with onions if you feel  like you want to do that and then you can add   in your Panetta cubes The Panetta now needs to  be cooked until some of its fat is released and  

It starts to turn golden brown and crispy now of  course the crispiness doesn’t really matter here   because we are making a sauce out of it but the  brown brownness that adds flavor not only to the  

Panchetta but also to the sauce now if you want  you can drain out some of that extra fat that has   released from The Panetta and once you’re happy  with it then add in your Hot Chili Peppers now  

I’m using bomba which is like um what I get at my  local store which essentially is chopped up spicy   calaban chili peppers and then add in the tomatoes  now this is from a can of sand marzana tomatoes  

And if you see any big chunks just break it up  this type is essential just to get that sweetness   I find that most other cans of tomatoes really  don’t have the flavor and the sweetness profile  

Of the San Marzano type now bring this up to a  simmer and really just lower the heat once you   get that and then cook very gently for 25 to  30 minutes so now we can focus on the actual  

Mix itself so I have here some ricot this is the  creamy kind then I have an egg yolk some lemon   zest some chives marzarella cheese salt pepper and  we’re going to need some spinach so let’s uh take  

That pasta out that should be ready now I’m going  to let that cool down slightly so I don’t burn my   hands while stuffing them now you can add fresh  water to that pot or just chose the same pot of  

Water by just straining out the pasta because we  now need to cook the spinach which is going to go   in that frot mix so you want to cook that spinach  for 2 to 3 minutes and once it’s welted just to  

Preserve that awesome green color and the flavor  put all that in a bowl of ice cold water flash it   then squeeze it tight get all that extra water  out and add it into your Bowl along with some   finely grated Parmesan cheese and now untangle  that messy spinach that you’ve just scrunched  

Up and just mix it all really well now if you are  planning to make this dish ahead of time then I’d   suggest just have the sauce ready the mix ready  and the pasta ready and put it in the fridge cover  

It all up and then when you’re ready to actually  make it then assemble it all and pop it in the   oven and the assembling is very straightforward  you want a nice thin layer of the sauce at the  

Bottom and make sure it’s even that moisture  that bed at the bottom it’s going to make sure   that the pasta doesn’t um burn or get too crispy  and now grab a spoon or roll up your sleeves to  

Start stuffing those shells and be generous with  it you worked hard on these amazing shells they   are quite filling honestly and um you want to keep  it nice and Rich this is after all a very special  

And involved pasta dish and as you’re filling  it just start neatly adding it onto that pair of   sauce in your casserole dish and don’t be afraid  to overlap it very slightly but of course don’t  

Have it on top of each other or have two layers  because there is cheese in the mixture and that’s   going to kind of mess with the poles it’s going  to make serving a nightmare just make it easy for  

Yourself think about the future you that’s going  to be serving and enjoying this casserole now   whatever sauce is left you’re going to put that on  the top and then spread some mozzarella over the   top along with some finely grated Parmesan cheese  and pecorino Romano cheese cover it bake it at 400  

Fits I use the convection setting and it’s going  to take about 25 30 minutes to really get that   nice and piping hot cheese is molten then you  can uncover it you can bake it for a bit longer  

To Brown the cheese a little bit but if you want a  lot of Browning just hit it under the broiler and   this year is ready to enjoy and it truly was a joy  to enjoy this meal just because of how great that  

Amatria sauce um and the and the stuffing and the  pasta just went together and while a matri Chana   was new for me maybe it wasn’t for you so let me  know have you had this before did you hear about  

It and what’s something else that you want me to  try next when it comes to sauces and Italian food

  8. Hey Anadi. I've never had Amatriciana Sauce. Totally new to me. Stuffed shells are a lot of work, but so worth it in the end. I love what did with the ricotta. Looks super yummy.

  9. I’ve had stuffed shells on my to-do list for over a year, Anadi. Your version looks so delicious I may have to move it to the top of the list! Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend! ❤
