Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °c (fan forced)

  • Add the pasta sauce to the bottom of the baking tray. Spoon the spinach mixture into each of the pasta shells and place in the baking tray.
  • Continue filling each of the pasta shells until you run out of mixture or pasta shells.
  • Top with the remaining cheese and cover with foil.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and remove the foil. Return to the oven to bake for a further 10 minutes or until the cheese has browned slightly.
