Tonight I decided to attempt a dish my mom use to make for my family all the time. There was only one way that I could make this dish and it was to retrieve the recipe straight from my mom herself. I decided to facetime her and get her to instruct me as I was cooking to ensure my success for this timeless dish. I began by boiling the pasta, specifically Conchiglie pasta. While the pasta was boiling I began with the filling that I would be stuffing in this. This involved mixing spinach with ricotta. After the pasta has become fully cooked to my taste I began stuffing them with the filling I had made. I then put each of the shells into a glass pan filled with a thin layer of tomato sauce (my mom gave me sauce to freeze at the beginning of the year so this is my mom’s homemade sauce keeping the authenticity of the dish). After I have placed them all in the pan I poured the rest of the sauce over the pasta and poured some store-bought pesto over of the sauce with a bit of sprinkled parmesan cheese. Finally, the last step consisted of baking the shells at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. At first, I was nervous about attempting a dish that means so much like home to me, however, after tasting it and following my mom’s instructions to the best of my ability, it did taste like home. 11/10 for this one as I even impressed myself with my cooking ability.
