Things to note about my recipes-

I was born in Dearborn, Michigan, so ALL of the recipes I make are American. When an ethnic tag is attached, it means the flavors of that ethnic influenced my spice choices. I don’t claim to write any authentic ethnic dishes. That being said, if it’s tagged “Noni’s Recipe” or “Pop’s Recipe” and also tagged “Italian,” it IS authentic San Marinese!

Recipes that are tagged “vegetarian” are prepared without meat. My vegetarian guidelines are choices my niece, who is a vegetarian, will eat. They are not strict vegan recipes.

Davine Stuffed Shells


This is my lower fat and calorie rendition of a traditional San Marinese dish. I made it with my own Bolognese-style sauce for my Dad the first time he came over for dinner after we'd finished our move-in cleaning. He was impressed, and he seldom expresses that out loud with food!


Davine Stuffed Shells

2 TBS margarine
1 lb ground Sirloin
1/2 lb low fat ricotta
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 quart Spaghetti Sauce (homemade or commercial)
22 jumbo shells

Brown the beef in the margarine, set aside to cool.

In a bowl combine the cheeses, add the cooled ground beef. Season to taste. Add egg and mix until well blended. cover bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Boil shells in salted water until al dente. Rinse with cold water and allow to cool enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 425.

Cover the bottom of a 9x18 baking pan with sauce. Fill each shell with meat mixture as they are filled place them on top of the sauce. When all of the shells are filled, pour remaining sauce over the tops. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese .

Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes, until cooked all the way through.

Calorie count - 89 per shell with sauce.
