Ricotta Stuffed Shells
A timeless Italian dinner, our Ricotta Stuffed Shells feature delicate pasta filled with velvety ricotta, accented with a touch of nutmeg and fresh herbs. Each shell is nestled in a robust marinara, infused with garlic and tender baby spinach for a depth of flavor reminiscent of old-world kitchens. Finished with grated Parmesan and a hint of black pepper, this dish delivers a heirloom-worthy experience steeped in tradition.
For a plant-based twist, opt for our vegan variation, featuring a creamy dairy-free filling, topped with vegan mozzarella, and enveloped in the same rich, herb-kissed marinara. A compassionate take on a classic, without sacrificing flavor.
