Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add crushed tomatoes, bell pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in spinach.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring large saucepan of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the shells and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Drain well.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Gouda, and basil. Transfer mix to a zip-top bag. Push the mixture to one corner of the bag, squeeze air out of top, and snip about ½ inch off that corner.

Step 5

Working with one at a time, pipe about 1 Tbsp of cheese mixture into each shell, then place in skillet. Sprinkle shells evenly with mozzarella.

Step 6

Transfer skillet to oven and baked cheese is lightly melted and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, top with fresh basil to serve.
