Many throughout the world rely on spaghetti with marinara sauce as a staple for a hearty meal. Step it up by boiling large 3” shell pasta, filling each with a mixture of ricotta cheese and sautéed spinach. Then, top each shell with marinara drizzle and Parmesan cheese. Another variation is to take the cooked lasagna noodle, layer it with ricotta cheese and herbs and roll it into a roulade shape. This can be set on its side and repeated. Then, top the roulades with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. Alter the presentation and suddenly the same dish is a new dish. The cooked pasta shells can also be filled with goat cheese and cooked diced chicken. Then, topped with tzatziki sauce for another pasta variation. Vary the shape and the new presentation becomes a new dish! © Kelly McBride Loft
