Easy Stuffed Shells
This sounds good, and easy, and only 5 ingredients. This comes together quickly and is a delicious meal. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 box jumbo pasta shells, about 35 shells, (12 oz / 340 g box)
- 1 jar spaghetti sauce, (24 oz / 1 lb 8 oz / 680 g), Shortcut
- frozen meatballs, fully cooked, about 35, Shortcut
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, (8 oz / 250 g)
- Italian seasoning, as desired, Shortcut
Instructions
- Heat a pot of salted water to boiling then add the pasta shells. Cook until just tender, then drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the shells are cooking, heat the meatballs. I place them on a plate, single layer and microwave on high for 2 minutes, roll them around then microwave again for 1 minute.
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease a 9x13 pan with butter. Spread 1/2 cup pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan. Place a meatball in a shell and place in the pan.
- Repeat until all the shells are stuffed and placed in the pan.
- Pour the pasta sauce over the shells.
- Top with the shredded cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning as desired.
- Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
I have never seen pasta shells in Thailand but I would assume this could be made easily with any pasta, Low cost per serving when making the meatballs yourself.

I made this again on 19 Apr 2020 and this time used Kroger brand Homestyle Meatballs which are 1 ounce each, those are perfect for the shells! Highly recommended.
