Better than Mom's Stuffed Shells Recipe

- These amazing stuffed shells recipe is baked in a classic tomato and white sauce with delicious meat and ricotta cheese filling. I like to use a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef to make this a hearty meal to serve to friends and family.
Stuffed shells are a classic Italian recipe consisting of cheese or meat-stuffed pre-cooked pasta shells that are baked with a red or white sauce until the cheese stuffing is hot and melty. This classic recipe is commonly served up for holidays in the United States, however, in Italy and Sicily, this is a traditional Sunday lunch or dinner.
My family makes and serves this up every single Easter for as long as I've been alive. It's a dish I look forward to eating but does require processes similar to that of my lasagna Bolognese recipe.

Ingredients for this recipe:
• 12 ounce box of jumbo conchiglie rigate
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 peeled small diced yellow onion
• 2 finely minced cloves of garlic
• 8 ounces loose Italian sausage
• 8 ounces ground beef 85/15
• 5 ounces roughly chopped baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1 pound small diced fresh mozzarella
• 16 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 pomodoro sauce recipe
• 1 bechamel sauce recipe
• salt and pepper to taste
I love the idea of using the piping bag for filling the shells. I used to use a spoon and then I graduated to using a cookie dough scoop (a 1 oz one, I think it is) but the piping bag looks like it would make it even easier. Thanks.
Truly appreciate the references to freezing!!!!!
Hello Chef, I just wanted to tell you I made this dish as part of my Easter repertoire. I used fresh made ricotta cheese, my homemade sauce, fresh mozzarella and all the ingredients you listed. What a great elevated version of stuffed shells. I thank you. You are an amazing chef.
Just made this tonight for the fam. I was BLOWN away. And I have never tried a homemade tomato sauce I liked until this one. The basil is king 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Life IS Good when Billy shows up w next level stuffed shells! Blessed Easter to you and your family.
Thanx Chef! 3 super recipes in one short video.
I make stuffed shells at least twice a month, but I have never made it this way. I will definitely be making this. It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I just made this following the directions except I did find the spaghetti sauce, because I’m not Italian or Greek, a little tart so I did add a little bit of sugar. I also used ground pork inst😢of the sausage. Other than that, I did it per your instructions. It did take a bit of time because of making the prep - boiling the shells - making the burger mix - the other cheese sauce, and then putting it all together it took time. First time making it it took me almost 2 1/2 hours to get it done. I gave it to my son, who has autism, he loved it. I gave it to my neighbor. Don’t know what his “real” thoughts were of it, but he said he liked it. I did eat after everything done and chilled my legs - love it - but please tell everybody that there is an amount of time in that prep for this recipe. To me, if I had to do it again, I would start the day before get everything ready to put it together the next day, thank you, but it was great thank
I'm literally following the video, to make this RIGHT NOW. I ORDERED ALL OF MY INGREDIENTS from AMAZON FRESH AND HAD THEM DELIVERED TO MY FRONT DOOR! I JUST KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A SUCCESS🙏🏽♥️💃🏽
Made it this weekend - love the sauces! Your recipes work so well. This was a hit with my family and will definitely make it again.
Thanks for giving it a shot!!
Baked this today and it did take some time as I made both a red sauce and a white sauce. This was excellent!! So delicious!!
What a great version of stuffed shells!! Making this for Thanksgiving... I'll let you know what my family thinks! Thanks Billy! Keep 'em coming!
Enjoy!
why doesn't this have MILLION clucking views yet! this man went to WORK!
Appreciate you
Thanks!
This is a top 5 favorite of my friends and family! I've been making it for years. Love the idea of fresh spinach and bay leaves! I will try this! I thought I was the only one that added sausage! Thank you Billy! You are such a great teacher! You simplify your recipes and continue to make me think I can do it!! You're the best!!
The best presentation after reviewing four other recipes (reference to your Mum helped)...banging the pots right now. Thanks.
Thanx, Chef Billy Parisi, for a fantastic holiday recipe. I'll make it without meat and follow your suggestions with the two different sauces. Enjoy the holiday!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I appreciate how you take your time and go step by step. Very easy to follow because you don’t rush! Thank you
I've never put meat in the stuffing, I'll give that a try. Love stuffed shells! I've tried piping the stuffing and it's great.
I'm envious of your kitchen and this is going to be my forever recipe.
I remember making a manicotti recipe one time that called for bechamel sauce in addition to the red sauce. That made all the difference! It’s the only way I like it now.
I could watch your videos all day! Great content!
I appreciate that, Thank you.

Hey, I fix dinner for a group of college kids(30) once a month. They love pasta! I have a vegetarian group. Spinach is great. What can I sub for the beef/pork?

Looks delicious
I'm making this for brunch! ☺️
This looks amazing definitely making this tomorrow.
Chef Billy it looks delicious! What wine and side dishes pair well with this. 😋
I actually don’t believe in wine pairings, for the most part (it’s a long story). Well you have starch and protein so I actually like serving this up with salad or veg.
@@ChefBillyParisi Thanks Chef 😊
Chef Parisi, do you have a link to that flat cap? I love it. The recipe is good too!
this guy deserves sm more
Where can I get the actual recipe for the white sauce?
Where can I get that pasta strainer???
Just love you! 😘
Love you back!
Did you wash the spinach first
I am going to make 200 of them for our wedding reception. In December.
Yummo 💛
New sub 😊
Hallelujah no more hand chopping garlic!!LOL
20 pieces for 14 Servings? As a side or is this a main? Or is it a typo?
Keep watching, I said I got to 28.
@@ChefBillyParisi Aye. I haven't watched yet, just read (as in skimmed) the recipe on your site. Looks great. Planning on having it Wednesday. Love your recipes.
Come on Billy it can’t be better than moms 😡nothing is better than moms😂
You’re the Bob Ross of TH-cam chefs.
No oregano? Why not??
Woe from wit
Ah! Evil tongues are scarier than a gun.
Too much 🌿
This looks heavenly, and I know it’s beyond amazing in flavor, but between the meats, cans of San Marzano tomatoes, four cups whole milk, and all the other ingredients, isn’t this expensive? I made spaghetti sauce from scratch a few times, from two Italian chefs on TH-cam (Gianni from North Beach is one; he’s like watching your Italian uncle cook, complete with the occasional swear word), with regular San Marzano and then D.O.P. San Marzano (huge flavor difference, worth the extra $), but it seemed to cost more than a jar of Rao (honestly, the best marinara jarred sauce by far, worth $8/jar).
Mixed it with tuna, salmon or finely chopped chicken with mayo, celery, green onion and eat it cold.
You the man
