    These are soooo good! I really like the jazzed up pre-made sauce. It would be great for other types of pasta as well. I got this from Everyday Italian on Food Network.

    Ingredients

    • 1 box jumbo shells (This will give you extra shells, so you might want to only cook about 3/4)
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 1 T minced garlic
    • 1 lb ground turkey
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper
    • 1 can quartered artichoke hearts, not marinated
    • 1- 15 oz container ricotta cheese
    • 3/4 c grated Parmesan
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/4 c fresh basil, chopped
    • 2 T fresh parsley, chopped
    • 2 c grated mozzarella
    • olive oil
    • Sauce
    • For the Sauce:
    • olive oil
    • 1/2 lb bacon or pancetta, chopped
    • 2 tsp crushed red pepper flake
    • 1 tsp minced garlic
    • 1 (or 2 if you like a lot of sauce) large jar marinara sauce

    Directions

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until just tender, but still mostly firm. About 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    2. In a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook the onion until translucent, about 8 minutes.
    3. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
    4. Add the ground turkey, salt and pepper and cook until the meat is cooked through.
    5. Stir in the artichokes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
    6. In a large bowl combine ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, basil and parsley. Season with a little more salt and pepper.
    7. Gently stir in the turkey mixture.
    8. Line the bottom of a 13x9 pan with a little of the sauce.
    9. Spoon a large tablespoon of filling into each shell and line the shells over the sauce.
    10. Top with remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
    11. Bake at 400 degrees until everything is hot and bubbly.
    12. To make the sauce:
    13. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the bacon bits and satue until crispy. Remove and drain the fat.
    14. Add the garlic and satue until just fragrant, about 1 minute.
    15. Add the marinara sauce, red pepper flake and bacon back into the pot.
    16. Simmer until ready to use.
