Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the spinach artichoke dip and ricotta cheese. Stir in the egg, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan, gently simmer the white sauce over medium-low heat. Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce. Set aside. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo shells and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 11 minutes). Drain well and set aside. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Pour half of the Gruyère white sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with the spinach artichoke mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in the casserole dish atop the white sauce, stuffed-side up. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the remaining Gruyère white sauce over the tops of the stuffed shells. Sprinkle evenly with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. (35 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted breadcrumbs on top before baking.
Freshly grated nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the white sauce.
To make ahead, assemble the shells in the casserole dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

    The shells came out perfectly cooked and the filling was so creamy. Will definitely make this again.

    I didn't have Gruyere, so I used Swiss cheese and it still turned out great.

    This was a great way to use up leftover spinach artichoke dip. My family loved it!
