Here is how you make Sausage Stuffed Shells:

Boil Noodles until fully cookedCook sausage, and blot off extra fat with paper towels (I use a ton of them, to get as much fat as I can)Heat sauce, and season to tasteWhile pasta is finishing, in a medium sized bowl, mix the sausage and cottage cheese (To make stuffing easier)Preheat oven to 350When noodles are done, pour off the water, and rinse with cold water to bring them to a temp at which you can handle them easily. Stuff with sausage and cottage cheese mixture, and place in a 9x13 sized panWhen pan is full, pour as much sauce on top as you like. Top with mozzarella cheese to taste. Bake 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.Let sit for a few minutes, and serve, and enjoy!! You'll end up with extra noodles, my family's favorite part is taking the extra noodles and using up the extra sauce and stuffing. Beware of this trend! You'll be tempted too! I'd suggest cooking fewer of the noodles, but you might not have enough to fill the pan, because they break. I guessed a pan would be 8 servings.
