Tips

  • Cook jumbo pasta shells al dente, as they will continue cooking in the oven and need to be sturdy enough to hold the filling.
  • Make sure the spinach is cooked and fully drained to remove excess water before adding it to the filling, otherwise it will be too loose and runny.
  • Add a little sugar to balance the acidity from the tomato sauce.
  • Let the meat sauce simmer to allow the flavors to marinate and come together.
