Half cook the pasta shells (check the cooking time and cook for ~3 minutes less than what the pasta package instructions are telling you), rinse under hot water so they don’t stick with each others, then set aside.
In a large casserole (hob and oven proof) prepare the marinara sauce. Add a bit of extra virgin olive oil to a pan a cook all the marinara ingredients. Let it reduce down then add (150ml hot water), mix.
Add the spinach to some boiling water for 1 minute or 2 or until they go soft, rinse and squeeze with your hands.
Prepare the filling by mixing in a bowl the filling ingredients.
Fill the pasta shells with the filling mix (~2 tsp of filling each shell) you will have enough to fill all of them.
Add the shells to the casserole and then bake for ~20 minutes. Time may vary depending on the cooking time of your pasta and also how you like it to be cooked so keep an eye at all times.
Serve with a good extra virgin olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese. I love this dish, I hope you too
