Crab-Stuffed Pasta Shells


© Allison Huller McAlister

This week I prepared a dish that I'll call, "Crab-Stuffed Pasta Shells." This was my first attempt at stuffed shells, and it turned out extremely well. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I anticipated. The shells are filled with a mixture of imitation crabmeat, fresh mushrooms, green onions and Alfredo sauce. They are then arranged in a baking dish and additional Alfredo sauce is poured overtop. This was a very good meal, and we gave it four stars. My four-year-old daughter just loved it. Served with a tossed salad and garlic bread, it makes a complete meal. I hope you will try it and let me know how you and your family liked it.

Have a good week and good eating!

Crab-Stuffed Pasta Shells

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
18 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup sliced green onions
1 lb. imitation crabmeat, flaked into small pieces
2 (16 oz.) jars of Ragu Cheese Creations Classic Alfredo sauce (you will use one whole jar, and ½ cup of the second jar)
¼ cup milk

Preparation:
Cook pasta shells according to package directions. Drain; rinse with hot water. Drain well. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium nonstick skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Stir in green onions and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add imitation crabmeat and ½ cup of the Alfredo sauce. Mix well. In a small bowl, combine the 16-oz. jar of Alfredo sauce and milk; blend well. Pour ¾ cup of sauce mixture into prepared baking dish; spread evenly. Spoon about 2 tablespoons crabmeat mixture into each cooked shell. Arrange stuffed shells in a single layer over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining Alfredo sauce over shells. Spray a sheet of foil with nonstick cooking spray and cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until shells are thoroughly heated and sauce is bubbly around edges. To serve, spoon sauce over shells. Enjoy!
