    · by Amanda Gajdosik

    Filled to the brim with spinach, garlic, and three types of cheese these spinach stuffed shells are a delicious make-ahead vegetarian dinner that will please even the biggest carnivore!

    Spinach Stuffed Shells Recipe

    Spinach Stuffed Shells are the answer to all your Lenten dinner needs!

    It’s beyond crazy that in just a week we’ll be celebrating Fat Tuesday, eating our weight in Paczki, and then quickly transitioning over into the season of Lent.

    Now, I’m what you would call a lapsed Catholic. I often refer to myself as retired. But! A lot of the traditions from my upbringing have stuck around these parts, even if many others have fallen by the wayside. I still recite Hail Marys when I’m stressed, keep a bible and a rosary in my car, and aim to limit my meat intake on Fridays during Lent.

    That last one doesn’t always work. I am married to a man who I’m pretty sure is 56% venison. But, the concept of no meat on Fridays is inescapable in the Midwest. Every bar has a fish fry and every good Wisconsinite goes.

    Easy, Vegetarian Pasta Dinner

    A Vegetarian Dinner

    Sometimes I don’t want fried fish, though. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a piece of crispy cod. With a side of tangy coleslaw and a piece of buttered rye bread. My mouth is watering just typing those words out, but! Woman cannot survive on fried food alone. (Lord knows I’d be willing to try.)

    Vegetarian Dinner Ideas

    Enter – the ultimate vegetarian dinner. That’s also full of cheese! Because I am who I am. And I still want to make my Midwestern heart (and husband) happy. Yes, you could totally add sausage or chicken to these stuffed shells, but they’re so good on their own that I don’t think it’s even remotely necessary. But I’m not gonna tell you how to live your life.

    Except to tell you that you have, have, HAVE to make these Spinach Stuffed Shells in the next 40 days! Go and find the recipe I made for Webster’s Marketplace right here, y’all!
