Stuffed Shells Ree Drummond Pioneer Woman Recipes

Steps:

• For the pasta and filling: Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook the pasta shells until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate to cool completely.
• Add the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper to a large bowl. Using a spatula, mix together until well combined. Fold in the shrimp and set aside while you make the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Using the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sprinkle over the flour. Cook, whisking, until the roux turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened, a few minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the parsley and set aside.
• To assemble: Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Using a spoon, fill each of the jumbo shells generously with the shrimp/cream cheese mixture. Lay 20 of the stuffed shells face down in the baking dish. Top with an additional 2 cups of sauce. Sprinkle over half of the shredded mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and hot, about 25 minutes.
• For the second casserole: Assemble a second 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining ingredients as above, then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook for half of the cooking time on the package. Make sure not to overcook. Drain and rinse in cool water. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, Romano, parsley, basley, egg, some salt and pepper, and half the Parmesan. Stir until combined.
• To assemble, coat the bottom of a baking dish with some sauce.
• Fill each half cooked shell with the cheese mixture and place face down on the sauce.
• Repeat with the shells until the cheese mixture is gone.
• Top the shells with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle on the mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
• Bake until hot and bubbly, 25 minutes. Serve with crusty French bread.

Steps:

• Thoroughly grease a 9- by 13-inch pan with softened butter.
• In a large pot, melt the butter. Stir in the regular marshmallows until they're totally melted. Stir in the salt. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour in the cereal, folding gently the whole time until all combined. Then pour in the mini marshmallows and gently fold inches Turn into the buttered pan and press flat. Immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
• Let cool completely, and then cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spread one stick of softened butter on each half of the loaf (That's one stick per half loaf. Yes, you read that right. The idea here is that every speck of the surface of the bread needs to be coated.).
• Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until butter is melted and starting to soak into the bread.
• Crank on broiler and broil bread for 3 to 5 minutes, watching the whole time. Remove when butter has started to brown and blacken. Don't under-broil it! The flavor really kicks in when the butter's color changes (The goal here is to broil the bread to the point that the butter becomes very dark brown and, in just a few areas, begins to burn. When that happens, the flavor shows up. If you don't take it to the next level, it will just be buttered, warm bread. Which is fine, and all...but it's not The Bread).
• Slice into strips and serve immediately (When I serve this, I slice it on a cutting board into relatively thin (because it's so rich) strips).
