Stuffed shells don’t have to be a weekend project. This one-pan, stovetop-only version turns mushroom- and spinach-stuffed shells into an easy weeknight pasta dinner. The quick but deeply flavorful sauce is made by dressing up jarred marinara sauce with garlic browned in butter and crushed red pepper flakes.
