## Pumpkin Ricotta Stuffed Shells

*Makes 12 Servings*

Ingredients:

- 6 oz. jumbo pasta shells (about 12 jumbo pasta shells)
- 1 ¼ cups part-skim ricotta cheese
- ¾ cup pumpkin
- ½ tsp. garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
- 2 Tbsp. basil
- ¼ tsp. dried sage
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 cup low-sodium spaghetti sauce

Directions:

** **

1. ** **Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. ** **Cook the pasta shells according to package directions. Drain and place each on a baking sheet to cool.
3. ** **In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, pumpkin, spices and all but 1 tablespoon of the parmesan cheese. Reserve the remaining 1 tablespoon of cheese for topping.
4. ** **Spread the pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish that holds all the shells in a single layer. Fill each shell with about 3 tablespoons of pumpkin mixture and place shells close together on top of the sauce.
5. ** **Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with remaining parmesan and bake for 15 minutes more.
