Everything is already prepared, it's just assembling them in the pan, then putting it in the oven.

BJ's brand/ Wellsley Farms' Frozen Five Cheese Stuffed Shells

(I have a large roasting pan so my recipe is for all of the shells in one pan, but you can divide the shells up into 2 pans, or maybe only make a few shells at a time).

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F

In a very large deep baking pan/dish *there are disposable ones*:

2. Pour and mix directly in the pan - a bottle of marinara/red pasta sauce and a bottle of Alfredo sauce. *You can pick any sauce you like and do not even have to mix different ones*

*Optional* Season the sauces in the pan, to taste (salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, Goya Adobo).

3. In an even layer, place the frozen shells on top of the sauce, and push them down a bit.

4. Pour another bottle of marinara/red pasta sauce on top of the shells as evenly as possible. The goal is for the shells to be covered with sauce as much as possible.

*Optional* Sprinkle with any seasonings or herbs you want (salt, oregano, Italian seasonings, basil, garlic powder)

Optional* Sprinkle shredded/powdered Parmesan cheese over the shells/sauce.

*Optional* Then place mozzarella cheese on top, you can use sliced mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, even cheese strings pulled apart. It has to be low moisture though.

5. Cover pan completely with aluminum foil.

*If you put all of the shells in one big pan then the pan will be heavy*

Vegan Gnocchi & Corn

1 box white cheddar shell mac & cheese (I like goodles for extra nutrients)

1/2 c dry lentils

1c frozen peas

canned parmesan

black pepper

milk and butter according to the mac & cheese box

add the lentils to the pot when you turn the stove on, and follow the box instructions for the mac & cheese except like 1-2 min before you drain the pasta add the peas. then add black pepper and parm at the end. Makes 2 servings.

if you don't like lentils, don't worry abt it they end up inside the little shells and you don't notice they're there at all. It's got a ton of protein & fiber and you can easily use a vegan mac & cheese and swap the canned parm for nooch. Peas and lentils are both dirt fucking cheap and mac & cheese is pretty cheap and commonly donated to food banks.
