fantastic looking stuffed shells

 

do you use a meat sauce ?     what do you stuff the shells with ?

 

have you ever tried soaking the dried shells in hot water first to avoid the boiling step ?

 

I havent gotten around to trying that yet

 

boiling / drying / stuffing is a bit of a pain.

I have used meat sauce when I had some on hand in the past, but there was no meat in this dish. They were stuffed with a mixture of mostly ricotta with some shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan added, with a bit of garlic and fresh chopped basil and a beaten raw egg. I learned quite a while ago that they are far easier to stuff when they are just barely flexible, too al dente to eat. Just a few minutes in the boiling water, then drained and stuffed as soon as they are cool enough to handle. I have never tried soaking them in hot water, but I don't see why that wouldn't work fine.

Pasta with Extra Garlicky Shrimp Scampi from The Food Lab. I like some veggies in my pasta so I added zucchini, carrots, red bell pepper and green beans. Unfortunately out of broccoli, which would have been good here.

Nice and garlicky - it gets minced or microplaned and mixed with the raw shrimp, smashed and cooked with the shrimp shells for the sauce and thinly sliced and sautéed before cooking the shrimp.

@kayb Yes, very tasty. I'm looking of recpies to use it where it will really shine through, hopefully I won't eat it all by then.

 

@Anna N I did had a pleasant conversation, so not much more. Now I wish to get some sleep and not to let myself work too hard this coming week -_-

Dinner tonight was a clean-out-the-freezer-I’m-still-too-tired-to-really-cook meal.  Poached eggs on toasted hamburger buns w/ hollandaise (from a packet), sausage links and some sliced oranges that were sitting naked in the fridge from being zested for cake frosting last week.  My pitiful poached eggs:

They were cooked properly, though:

Sea Scallops with smashed red potatoes and MB's country style bread.  Hagafen's Dry White Riesling - 0% RS went along nicely.

You didn't ask me, but I'm guessing RS = residual sugar

 

My dinner - Sous Vide Rib-Eye Steak with Shallots, Garlic & Thyme and Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin, both from The Food Lab/Serious Eats with some fresh veg on the side.

Accompanied by a glass of Apothic Inferno (red blend aged in whiskey barrels for 60 days).  No real smoke on the steak but the wine added a little of that flavor.

Another late babysitting night. Deb texted me when she was leaving and I had the oven preheated and the peppers, onions and cucumbers marinating in Greek salad dressing. The Korean BBQ wings went into the preheated oven shortly after her text. A late night dinner, but a good one.

 If I ever thought of marrying again I’d be asking you if you had any brothers who were available.xD

No photos but I threw together pork tenderloin with apples and onions, leeks and cabbage, and some sautéed new potatoes. Turned out pretty tasty, even by the standards of the other folks in the house, who aren't fond of pork.

 

I really didn't have a solid plan when I set out to make dinner - I need to remember that I'm actually halfway decent at cooking.

 Looks very tasty.  Do you just wing it? I’m guessing so since you have been doing it so long.
