  • 2 c. ricotta
  • 1 c. shredded mozzarella
  • 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan, divided

  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, artichoke, ricotta, mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan and garlic and stir until combined. Stir in egg, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. Make Alfredo: In a skillet or saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil, then stir in remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan until creamy. Season with pepper. [Editor's note: You can also skip making your own Alfredo sauce by using a jarred Alfredo sauce.]
  3. Spoon a thin layer of Alfredo sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish. Stuff cooked shells with spinach-artichoke mixture and place in baking dish. Spoon more sauce on top of shells.
  4. Bake until warmed through and cheese is melty, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve.
