By making the recipe in the pressure cooker, it shaves of so much time. The best part about the sauce is it makes enough for two family sized meals…or you can freeze half for later.

As always with my veggie packed recipes, feel free to substitute for your family’s taste. Mushrooms would be a delicious swap for zucchini!

Step One: Boil the noodles to al denté –or a bit firm. Remember they’re going to cook a bit more while baking in the sauce. In a large casserole dish, put about 1 cup of sauce at the bottom and top with the shells.

Step Two: If you have a cookie scoop or melon baller on hand, it’s so handy to use to scoop the spinach and feta filling for these shells. The scoop drops the perfect amount into the shell!

Step Three: Top with additional sauce and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. For a complete meal, pop a loaf of garlic bread into the oven with 10 minutes left on the timer and make a side salad.
