Spinach Stuffed Shells

Only 17 more days until baby boy is here! It's hard to find motivation to cook when all I want to do is lie down and rest when Whitney is sleeping, but when I know I can get a freezer meal out of a recipe (meaning, I can slack off later when #2 gets here) it's not so bad! This recipe was found on Sister's Cafe, surprise surprise!

1 pkg jumbo pasta shells

1 jar favorite spaghetti sauce

1 pkg chopped spinach, thawed

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

1 lg carton cottage cheese

1 egg white

Thaw spinach and drain well. Cook shells according to package directions (I always slightly undercook them by a minute). Mix in a large bowl; cottage cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, spinach and egg white. Stuff mixture into shells and place in 9x13 baking dish Or use 2 smaller sized ones, baking one and freezing the other one for later. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray and pour a little bit of sauce in the bottom. Stuff mixture into shells and place into prepared dish (or dishes). Pour spaghetti sauce over shells. Cover and freeze or you can bake it at 350 for 30-45 minutes until heated thru. If you freeze it, plan on adding an additional hour to your baking time.This is also a great recipe to make earlier in the day and keep in the fridge. Then all you have to do it throw it in the oven for dinner.

*I just read one of the comments from this post on Sister's Cafe, and someone recommended adding sausage. Sounds yummy that way and what a good way to use left over meat!
