Accidental Spicy Spinach Shells

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, 12 minutes. Drain.

3. 3

   Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

4. 4

   Melt Monterey Jack cheese in a saucepan over medium-low heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir spinach, tomato, onion, and bell pepper into the cheese; cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

5. 5

   Spoon sausage, Monterey Jack cheese mixture, and ricotta cheese into the pasta shells; arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour tomato sauce over the stuffed shells.

6. 6

   Bake in preheated oven until the sauce is hot and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
