Description

These veggie-filled pasta shells are topped with a quick tomato sauce and are perfect for a weeknight dinner. Omit the chicken bouillon to make it a meatless meal.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 (10 ounce) package frozen leaf spinach, thawed and drained
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with basil
1 (3 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup warm water
1 pinch dried cilantro

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, heat grapeseed oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add spinach, corn, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach and corn are tender, about 5 minutes.
3 Drain pasta shells. Fill with corn-spinach mixture. Place shells back into the same deep skillet and cover with diced tomatoes. Mix tomato paste and warm water together and pour onto shells.
4 Cover and cook on medium heat until tomatoes are heated through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with dried cilantro.
