Italian shells with sausage is a creamy, cheesy baked pasta dish packed with savory sausage and bold Italian flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbs minced garlic

- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

- Once cooked remove any excess grease from the pot, then add in the minced garlic, broth, seasonings marinara sauce, and bring this mixture up to a simmer now stir in the pasta and let simmer covered for about 15 minutes. Stir it often so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.

This was amazing just as written!
My family LOVED this recipe last night! We will be making it again!
Was very excited to try several of the recipes from this video when I watched it, and this one does not disappoint! It’s hearty and tasty, and the recipe is definitely built to feed a family. If you’re a single pringle like me and not looking to have leftovers for days, I’d cut it in half, but know that it reheats well and I’m munching on some as I type this. I subbed in hot Italian sausage, but I’d stick to mild if you aren’t feeling like spice in every bite; and I used beef bouillon in place of chicken stock since it’s what I had around. Would definitely make it again.
This was delicious! Even my picky kids chowed it down and asked for more! Thanks!
My picky kids LOVED this!! So easy and very tasty! I added spinach and mushrooms separately for my husband and me. Really good, would definitely make again😊
