I wanted to make stuffed shells tonight, using my homemade marinara, and a ricotta and spinach filling. After I cooked the whole package of shells and defrosted my sauce, I realized it wasn't going to be enough filling. I cut up and baked a kabocha squash and started making a cream sauce. But then I decided the squash would be a side dish since it doesn't really go with marinara in my mind. I had some marinated zuchinni and eggplant slices from Trader Joe's that I cooked in my cream sauce. So the second batch of shells is stuffed with cream sauce,eggplant,and zucchini and topped with marinara. I'm almost more excited about the second batch than the first.
