They are considered everyday and quite simple. However, even from them you can prepare a real masterpiece that will decorate the festive table. One of these dishes is shells with minced meat. Large pasta with filling and tasty sauce looks quite unusual and appetizing.

Ingredients for stuffed shells

First of all, large ones are needed. They are also called conchillons, lumaconi, cannelloni. This pasta is widely used in Italy for preparing both main dishes and appetizers and desserts. They come in the form of tubes and shells. You need to take about half a kilogram of them. The classic recipe uses minced meat (pork, beef, assorted) as filling. You also need to take 1 onion and 1 carrot. For the meat filling you need 1 egg. If we stuff shells according to a simple and widely known recipe, then sour cream, tomato paste, and herbs are used for the sauce.

Cooking process

First of all, you need to prepare the filling. Minced meat is salted, pepper, other spices, and onions are added. Then beat in the egg. So, now we stuff the shells. It is important to add a little more minced meat, as it will decrease in volume during cooking. Place in a pan or baking dish and pour in the sauce. The shells should be completely covered with it. Simmer until the pasta is completely cooked. For the first 20 minutes, the pan can be covered with foil. In about 40 minutes, the shells with minced meat will be ready. They should be placed on a plate and poured over the sauce. If desired, you can sprinkle with herbs or grated cheese.

Sauce for the dish

(shells) minced meat goes well with Bechamel sauce. It's easy to prepare. To do this, melt 150 grams of butter in a frying pan. You need to add 2 tablespoons of flour to it. Stir this mixture thoroughly and carefully pour in 150 grams of warm cream. It is important to ensure that no lumps form. The sauce should be salt and pepper. Another variation of the filling is made from cheese and sour cream. Hard cheese should be grated on a fine grater and mixed with sour cream. Then you need to add a couple of tablespoons of wine and salt. Large stuffed shells can also be served with tomato sauce. To prepare this sauce, thinly sliced ​​onions and garlic are fried in a small amount of oil. Then add diced tomatoes and a small amount of sour cream to the pan. The sauce must be thickened with flour. The main rule when preparing filling for stuffed shells is that there should be a lot of it. All pasta must be completely covered with sauce, otherwise the ends that are on the outside will not cook.

Cooking features

Some housewives pre-boil them before stuffing shells. This is necessary in order to reduce cooking time. In addition, if we stuff shells with salad or sweet filling, then, accordingly, they must already be cooked. To do this, boil the pasta in a large saucepan; there should be enough space so that the shells do not stick together and stick to the walls of the dish. You need to cook them for 10-12 minutes until al dente - this way they remain quite elastic and do not lose their shape. It’s best to try one, so you can accurately determine the state of readiness. Then the water is drained, the pasta is rinsed with cold water and placed on a large dish. So they should stand for a while and cool down. You can cook stuffed shells in a slow cooker. Filled pasta is placed in a bowl and poured with sauce. Then set the “Baking” mode for 20 minutes, after this time we turn on the “Stew” mode for 30-40 minutes. In general, to cook large shells in a slow cooker, you can use different modes, including steaming.

Seafood pasta filling

To diversify your diet, you can use shrimp as a filling. If we stuff shells with such a filling, then they must already be pre-boiled. Prepared seafood must be cleaned, finely chopped and mixed with squeezed garlic, grated cheese and herbs. This filling is sprinkled with lemon juice and olive oil. Another filling option is canned fish. Mash the sardine and pink salmon with a fork, add grated boiled egg, cheese (hard or processed) and mayonnaise. You can also finely chop the green onions. Shells are stuffed with all this. Fish fillet is also great. Finely chop it, add carrots and onions. Raw pasta is stuffed with this minced meat, poured with creamy sauce and the dish is sent to the oven. Another variation is crab sticks and processed cheese.

Shells and ideas for stuffing

To prepare stuffed pasta, you can use any type of cheese: cottage cheese, feta cheese, feta. It is mixed with finely chopped herbs, garlic, and salt if necessary. Goes well with cheese and nuts. If the filling (for example, cheese) is a little dry, then add sour cream or matsoni. You can make an original snack if you add finely chopped pickled cucumber to the cheese. You can use chicken for the meat filling. It must first be boiled or fried with onions and carrots, you can add champignons. An excellent option for quick cooking is filling with sausage or ham. You can fry the onion and add chopped sausages to the pan for a few minutes. Then mix all this with grated hard cheese. In general, you can use any filling or salad to prepare an appetizer with stuffed shells. The main thing is that their components are combined with sour cream, mayonnaise, and cheese. Another option for minced meat is finely diced tomato, pepper, cucumber with olive oil.

Stuff the shells with sweet filling

For lovers of sweets, we recommend preparing a filling based on cottage cheese. You can add a variety of products to it: sugar or honey, vanilla, nuts, raisins, candied fruits, berries or fruits. To prevent the filling from being dry, add one or two eggs to the cottage cheese. The shells are stuffed and placed in a baking dish. Pour in sour cream and place in the oven until the pasta is ready. You can sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon on top. Best served hot with jam or sour cream sauce.

Stuffed pasta can be cooked not only in the oven, but also in a frying pan. Using the second option, you can quickly prepare lunch or dinner. I choose large pasta, namely tubes or shells. These products are quite dense, so they do not boil too much.

For the filling I use minced meat. If desired, you can supplement it with boiled cereals, then the dish will turn out twice as satisfying. I fry the onions until soft, they add flavor to the meat. You don't need to add a raw egg to the filling. During stewing, the minced meat does not float out of the pasta.

But for the sauce, I recommend using full-fat sour cream or cream. The fermented milk product softens both minced meat and pasta well. At the end of cooking, sprinkle with grated cheese. And I serve the stuffed pasta tubes hot. Since they are large, I cut them with a knife into 2-3 pieces.

Stuffed pasta tubes in a frying pan

how to cook stuffed pasta tubes recipe

Ingredients:

• pasta (tubes) – 9 pcs.,
• minced meat – 250 g,
• red onion – 1 pc.,
• onion – 1 pc.,
• sunflower oil – 2-3 tbsp.,
• sour cream – ½ tbsp.,
• water – ¼ tbsp.,
• hard cheese – 45 g,
• khmeli-suneli – ¼ tsp,
• salt - to taste.

Cooking process:

I prepare the necessary ingredients. It is better to boil the pasta in water to make it softer. Boil the straws in salted water for 5 minutes after boiling. Then I put them in a colander and rinse them with cool water.

I take a red and a regular onion, peel the skin, and rinse with water. I cut the vegetable into small pieces.

Pour oil into a frying pan and place on medium heat. Pour the onion into the heated oil. I fry it for about 5 minutes.

Place the minced meat in a bowl, add salt and seasoning. Add the fried onion and butter to the meat, stir until smooth.

I fill half-raw pasta with meat filling. You can push the filling with the handle of a teaspoon or with your fingers. If you wish, you can take shells; they fill easier.

Place the stuffed tubes in a deep frying pan. Mix warm water and sour cream, add a small amount of salt. Pour the sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle seasoning on top.

Cover with a lid and simmer until done for 25-30 minutes. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with grated cheese, and cover with a lid.

Serve stuffed pasta with herbs. The dish turns out to be satisfying and can be supplemented with fresh vegetables. The sauce is absorbed into the pasta, so it can be served with gravy or dressing of your choice. Tomato ketchup is also suitable for serving.

Bon appetit!
