This dish could be made with jumbo pasta shells, green peppers, or even cabbage leaves. It depends on what you want! The filling is incredibly nourishing and nutrient-dense! (Not to mention yummy.)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb. grass-fed ground beef
- 3 large mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 c. spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 c. mozzarella, shredded and divided
- 1/2 tsp. parsley
- 1/4 c. asiago cheese, shredded
- 1/4 c. Romano cheese, shredded
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 4 green peppers or 8 large cabbage leaves or 12 - 14 jumbo shells
- 2 c. tomato sauce
Directions:
Brown the beef and add the mushrooms, onion, spinach, and garlic. Cook until done. In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, 1/2 c. mozzarella, and parsley. Add the meat mix. Pour a little sauce in a baking dish. Stuff “shells” with mixture, set on sauce. Pour the rest of the sauce over top and add shredded cheese.
This is a very cheesy dish! Serve it with a nice salad and some rooibos tea or water kefir for a complete meal! (I just started brewing water kefir again and I’m so excited, so you’ll be hearing about that again in a few weeks.)
Do you bake these?
