THREE CHEESE STUFFED SHELLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta shells according to package directions for al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella, parmesan, basil, Italian seasoning, egg, salt and pepper. Spread 3/4 of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish.
• Spoon the cheese mixture into the pasta shells and place in the baking dish. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more.

SAVORY SPIRAL STUFFED ROLLS

Steps:

• Follow the recipe for your roll dough until the dough has risen. Punch down the dough and roll the dough out into a large rectangle about 1/2-inch thick (using the french bread roll recipe, I rolled my dough to about 13 inches by 17 inches).
• In a small bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Spread the rolled out dough with the butter/cream cheese mixture. Top with the ham, broccoli, cheese, Parmesan cheese, and green onions (see the pictures below). Roll the dough up, pinching the seam to seal. Slice the roll into about 1-inch segments.
• Place the rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise until nearly doubled and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned and bubbly.

SPIRAL-SHAPED GREEK CHEESE PIE RECIPE (KICHI KOZANIS)

Steps:

• If you choose to prepare this Greek cheese pie with commercial phyllo dough, it is important to thaw completely the phyllo dough by putting it in the fridge from the previous day. For the beginners at working with phyllo, check the handling tips before starting.
• To make this Greek cheese pie, start by preparing the filling first. Pour the milk in a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk. Add the Graviera cheese and whisk again. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, the chopped mint, season with freshly ground pepper and sprinkle with the semolina. Blend well, so that the flavours mix.
• Preheat the oven to 170C and oil the bottom and sides of a round baking tray (approx. 35cm diameter).
• Unroll the phyllo dough from the plastic sleeve and place one sheet of phyllo on a working surface (larger side facing you). Using a pastry brush, brush with olive oil. Spread some of the filling, making a lane on the edge of the larger side of the phyllo sheet and roll into a 'sausage'. Place the roll on the baking tray, starting from the outer side of the tray (the phyllo roll should be touching the side of the pan). Repeat with the rest of the dough, placing the rolls (touching each other) in the baking tray, forming a 'snail', that leads to the centre of the pan. Oil the surface of the pie with enough olive oil and bake in preheated oven at 170C for about 75 minutes, until nicely coloured and crispy. If the pie starts getting coloured to quickly, cover up with aluminium foil.
• Serve this delicious Greek cheese pie while still warm as an appetiser, snack or side dish. Enjoy!
