Ingredients
- 6 oz large pasta shells (6 oz is approx ½ box)
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1 cup pulled pork
- 2 cups arugula lightly packed
- ½ cup mozzarella shredded
- ½ cup ricotta
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 1 ¾ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Cook the pasta shells according to packet instructions so they are al dente. Drain and set aside on a baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, warm the oil in a medium skillet over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook a minute or two until fragrant. Next add the pork and cook a minute to soften. Add the arugula and cook, folding it in so it all wilts down. Set aside to cool a minute.
- Mix together ½ of the mozzarella (ie ¼ cup) with the ricotta, add the pork mixture and mix.
- Put approximately 1 ¼ cups of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Fill the pasta shells with the pork-cheese mixture and set in the marinara in rows. (You might not use quite all of them, but a couple often break in boiling.)
- Top with the remaining marinara sauce, the rest of the mozzarella and the parmesan.
- Cover and bake for 30-40 minutes, uncovering for the last 5-10 minutes.
