Stuffed Shells Russian Style

For the topping you will need

Olive oil - generously pour oil in a large pan and warm up on Medium heat

1 large onion finely chopped and add to oil

1 Package of Portabella mushrooms finely chopped - add to onions

1 Medium/large bag of carrots Shredded - add to pan

Add 2 table spoons of salt

Add 2 table spoons of garlic powder

and some pepper to taste.

I usually add salt as I go to make the flavor richer. So don't be afraid to taste as you go.

Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes stirring through out that time.

The filling - Mix all ingredients together

1 large tub of Ricotta Cheese

1 Cup of Chopped parsley

2 table spoons of salt

1 box of Jumbo Shells - cook according to package

Stuff the shells with the filling, about one table spoon of ricotta filling per shell.

In a glass container put some olive oil on the bottom and line the stuffed shells( I used 2 glass containers for all the shells)

Add a table spoon of topping to the stuffed shells

Then sprinkle all your cheese

Place into the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy!
