Puerto Rican stuffed shells or caracoles rellenos are pasta shells filled with ricotta cheese, savory ground beef<\/a><\/strong>, and topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella. The ground beef is seasoned with adobo<\/a><\/strong> y saz\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong> and cooked in a sofrito<\/a><\/strong> sauce. This adds a ton of flavor to this dish. I love making this for dinner on busy weeknights as it comes together in 45 minutes or less. PLUS, it’s a no-bake recipe which makes it even more simple to make. It also freezes well so you can make ahead and keep a stash for later use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Puerto Rican stuffed shells?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Puerto Rican stuffed shells are prepared like the traditional dish but the difference is in the ground beef. Traditional stuffed shells are stuffed with only ricotta cheese. This version adds a layer of savory ground beef over the ricotta for an explosion of delicious Caribbean flavor! I prepare the ground beef in the same way as picadillo.<\/a><\/strong>, only I don’t add onions, peppers, potatoes, olives, or raisins. If you want to add those ingredients, that’s completely up to you but I prefer to keep it simple for this recipe. The adobo<\/a><\/strong>, saz\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong> y sofrito<\/a><\/strong> will add tons of flavor to the beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
