3 Squash Ricotta Stuffed Shells Casserole Recipe makes the most of the fall squash harvest. It’s filling and flavorful.

Jumbo shells are filled with roasted squash and ricotta, then smothered in a creamy sauce.

This recipe is for zucchini, yellow squash, and butternut squash stuffed shells. It’s hearty and satisfying, even though it’s meatless.

Whenever I make an entrée recipe that doesn’t have meat in it, Big Daddy always asks, “Where’s the meat?”. This squash and ricotta stuffed shells casserole recipe is satisfying without meat. However, if you’re family is like mine, you can easily add 1 cup cooked, cubed chicken to the mixture.

I had never eaten butternut squash until last year. It’s one of my most favorite vegetables now. I roast it most often then use it in various recipes like Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese, and Caramelized Onion and Butternut Squash Pesto Pizza.

For this 3 Squash and Ricotta Stuffed Shells Casserole Recipe, I pan sautéed the squash. I then made the cream sauce in the same pan making for easier clean-up but also to use all the delicious flavors that were already in the pan. It’s the same concept as making gravy in the pan you cooked meat in, all those stuck-on bits and pieces add flavor to the sauce!

 This recipe makes a great entrée or side dish.
