Cheesey Tuna Stuffed Shells; 'A Wacky Family Recipe'
This is my recipe! If you try these please let me know what you think of them.
Ingredients:
One 12 Oz box of large pasta shells
Two tbs. oil
Water to boil shells & 1/2 cup water to add into baking dish.
One can of cream of chicken soup
One can of milk measured in the empty soup can
3 cans of drained tuna
One 15 oz container of ricotta cheese
One & a half cups of shredded Italian cheese
Pepper to taste
A few shakes of basial
One tsp. garlic powder - or more for your taste
One tsp. onion powder - or more for your taste
One tsp. season salt - or more for your taste
A few shakes of Italian seasoning
Dried parsley flakes on top to liking (optional)
Either shredded cheddar cheese or cheese sauce for over top when done baking.
Boil shells in a pan of water with two tbs. oil, I used canola but most any you choose will work. Do not completely cook the shells, just enough so that they are soft enough to work with for stuffing. When finished drain into a strainer and rice shells with hot water. Then shake to be sure all water is out of shells.
In a bowl mix tuna, cream of chicken soup, ricotta cheese, Italian cheese, spices, milk together.
Spray one Cassarole dish with cooking spray & pre heat oven to 350.
Stuff each shell with tuna mixture placing them in layers into Cassarole dish.
Add in 1/2 cup on water to bottom of dish after shells are in place, cover with foil and bake for about 50 minutes.
Remove shells from oven and place cheese sauce or shredded cheese over the top then return to oven for 10 minutes, uncovered.
Serve & ENJOY!
You can opt to use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup as well, my family prefers cream of chicken so that is what I used.
You can also add in peppers, onions or those kinds of variations, again my guys prefer it plain.
I served with butter & garlic biscuits & corn on the cob.
This is his great to be taken to pot lucks and family reunions because it does cook well in a crock pot also.
