ingredients
- 12 pasta shells
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup water (the hot pasta water)
- 1 1⁄2 cups bay scallops or 1 1/2 cups baby shrimp, raw
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1⁄4 cup breadcrumbs
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- mozzarella cheese, grated, to taste
directions
- Cook pasta according to directions.
- In medium bowl combine the tomato sauce and vinegar. When the pasta is finished cooking remove from the water with tongs or a spoon and put the bowl. Also, add the hot water. Let marinate at room temp for 20 minutes.
- In the same pot steam the shrimp or scallops for 3-5minutes. Drain and cool in the fridge until pasta is done marinating.
- In a small bowl stir the cheeses, bread crumbs and salt and pepper. Fold in the shrimp or scallops.
- Stuff the marinated shells with the mixture and place in an 8x8 baking dish.( This can be a little messy, but I hold the shells in one hand and spoon the filling in with the other to keep one hand clean at all times).
- Top with the tomato marinade and as much mozzarella as you prefer.
- Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes or until cheese is nice and melted.
