3. Kale Stuffed Shells with Marinara

Everyone loves stuffed pasta shells smothered in marinara sauce. Though traditionally a vessel for cheese, these shells are stuffed with a creamy blend of white beans, sautéed kale, and garlic for a healthier, lighter take on the traditional dish. Any white bean will work here, but we like cannellini beans for their ease of smashing. These shells also freeze quite nicely, making them ideal for a quick weeknight dinner.
