  • Stuff each pasta roll with the shrimp and spinach mixture generously.
  • Place the stuffed pasta rolls in a baking dish and pour 1 cup of roasted red pepper cream sauce over the top.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese over the sauced pasta rolls.

  • Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, serve warm, and enjoy.
