Tip: To avoid leaving a baking dish in the freezer for weeks, line it with plastic wrap. Fill the prepared dish with casserole ingredients, wrap the dish and freeze overnight (or several hours). When frozen, lift out the food and place in a freezer bag; freeze up to 1 month. To thaw, remove plastic wrap and return food to the original baking dish. Thaw and bake as directed.

Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Meanwhile, drain thawed spinach well, pressing out excess liquid.

For filling, in a medium bowl beat eggs. Stir in spinach, 11/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Spoon 2 rounded tablespoons of the filling into each jumbo shell. Spread about 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce on the bottom of a 2-quart square baking dish. Place shells in dish. Pour pasta sauce over shells. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
