Lighter Baked Shells


1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. To prepare stuffing, combine 1/4 c boiling water and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl, let stand 20 minutes or until tomatoes soften. Drain and finely chop. Combine tomatoes, mozzarella, and next 6 ingredients (though egg) in a food processor, process until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons stuffing into each shell. Set aside.

3. To prepare sauce, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, peppers, and garlic and sauté 6 minites or until tender. Place onion mix in a bowl.

4. Coat pan with cooking spray, return pan to heat. Add sausage and cook 6 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add wine and cook until wine is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion mix, tomato paste, and next 5 ingredients (through tomatoes), and bring to a simmer. Cook 25 minutes or until sauce is slightly thick.

5. Spread 2 cups sauce over bottom of a 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange stuffed shells in a single layer and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle two tablespoons parmesan cheese. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until bubbly.
