Frugal Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Shells Recipe

This freezer recipe is fast, frugal, freezer-friendly and has very few ingredients and it makes A LOT!!

4-Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Shells

1 package extra large shell pasta

1 16 ounce container cottage cheese

1 15 ounce container of ricotta cheese

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Cook and drain the pasta shells.  Mix the remaining ingredients together.  Fill each shell with some of the cheese filling.

To freeze: Place stuffed shells separately on a baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours.  Remove from baking sheet, place in a freezer bag and label.

To cook: Place stuffed shells in baking dish and thaw in the fridge overnight.  Cover with 2 cups pasta sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

To make this recipe more frugal, you could use a 32 ounce container of cottage cheese and omit the ricotta.  Also, I used fresh spinach because I had some on hand. I used about 8 cups, chopped it, and cooked it in olive oil until wilted.
