Alison Makes Cheesy Baked Shells and No You Don’t Have To Stuff Them | Home Movies with Alison Roman

I only like fresh tomatoes two times a year: late summer, and early fall (AKA when they’re good). The rest of the year, I feel my safest and most secure when I have a few types of canned tomato products in my pantry—peeled whole plum tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. To be clear: They are absolutely not a substitute for fresh tomatoes. BUT they make for the best texture and flavor in a homemade all-purpose tomato sauce like in this week’s recipe for saucy, cheesy baked shells. We’re not stuffing individual shells, we’re not fussing over rolling or layering sheets of pasta, we’re not cooking down a béchamel. Instead, we’re letting tomato sauce, dollops of ricotta, and shredded mozzarella pool, melt (and bubble over) into pasta shells to serve with an oh-so-casual citrusy bitter greens salad.
