Building off our original stuffed shells recipe, we’ve crafted this fall variation showcasing a fresh sage and ricotta filling topped with a decadent pumpkin cream sauce. These shells are great for a cozy night in at home or even for a family potluck when you want to show off your kitchen skills. While the ingredient list makes enough to fill one Suvie pan, this is a great recipe to double and freeze for later.
Note: If you would like to schedule this meal, but do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, cook shallot and garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium low heat about 5-7 minutes, until tender, instead of broiling in Step 1.
