notes : this is one of my all-time favourite "healthful" recipes and one 
that i've made for my vegetarian christmas dinner several times. 
the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato sprinkles and 2 
cups boiling water. the sprinkles are rehydrated for 30 minutes and then 
drained, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. this liquid is added after the 
tomatoes, rather than the plain water.

stuffed shells puttanesca 
 
recipe by :vegetarian planet 
serving size : 4 preparation time :0:00 
categories : pasta vegetarian main dish 
 
amount measure ingredient -- preparation method 
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 
1   each fennel bulbs
1 Tbsp  olive oil
2 cup  onion -- minced
2 clove  garlic -- minced
1/2 cup  ricotta cheese
1/4 cup  parmesan cheese
16 large  pasta shells
2 Tbsp  olive oil
3 clove  garlic
3-1/2 cup  plum tomatoes
1/2 cup  water
1 tsp  oregano
2 Tbsp  capers -- drained
1/4 cup  olives, small -- pref nicoise
3 Tbsp  fresh basil
  salt and pepper -- to taste
 
remove the green stalks from the fennel and cut the bulb in half. core 
it as you would a cabbage head, then chop the remaining fennel fine. 
there should be about 2 cups. 
 
make the stuffing: in a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium 
heat. saute the onions for 5 minutes or until they soften, stirring 
occasionally. add the garlic and fennel. saute for 3 minutes, stirring 
often. add 1/2 cup water, and let the vegetables cook for 10 minutes or 
until the fennel is tender. take the pan off the heat, and add the 
ricotta, parmesan, and salt and pepper. 
 
meanwhile, begin the sauce: in a large saucepan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil 
over medium heat, and add the garlic. saute it for a minute or so (do 
not let it brown). then break apart the tomatoes by squeezing them in 
your hand, one by one, and drop them into the sauce. add the water, (or 
1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup red wine), and oregano, and simmer the sauce 
for 25 minutes. take the sauce off the heat, and add the capers, olives, 
basil, and salt and pepper to taste. 
 
bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. add the pasta shells, and 
cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked al dente, about 
8 minutes. remove the shells with a sieve, and drop them into a big bowl 
of cold water. then take out one shell, stuff it with a spoonful of the 
ricotta mixture, and place it in a lightly oiled casserole pan (a 
9-by-9-inch pan works well.) pour the tomato sauce over the shells, and 
cover the pan with foil. (at this point you can refrigerate the shells, 
to be baked up to 3 days later.) 
 
preheat the oven to 350 f. bake the shells until they are hot, about 25 
minutes (or about 35 minutes if the casserole was chilled.) serve the 
shells hot.
