Inside Out Ravioli


Ahhh ~ this recipe reminds me of my college days! Our group used to go to Lake Conesus in New York ~ we'd stay at the beautiful cottage of the Riches. We'd water ski, lay out and laugh and laugh. And our course, eat! That's where I was introduced to this recipe. Mrs. Rich used to put this together for us. It was great ~ easy to put together, can do ahead and freeze and goes great with a salad. I have made this one of my go to dishes when making a meal for someone that they can freeze and make when they need a meal. It never fails me.

Ingredients
9 X 13 pan or large casserole dish

1 10 oz. box frozen chopped spinach
4 cups small seashell pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup oil (less!!)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 well beaten egg
Spaghetti Sauce ~ 28 - 32 oz.

Directions
Cook spinach and shells. Drain well. Make sure to squeeze the extra water out of the spinach. I put it in a dishtowel and 'wring'. Mix together spinach and shells.

In a separate bowl, mix together cheese, bread crumbs, egg and oil.
Mix spinach and shells with this mixture.
Mix in sauce, reserve a bit to top.

Spread in an greased/oiled baking dish.
Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Again, can be made ahead and frozen. Just bake as directed.
