Begin by cooking the jumbo pasta shells according to the package directions until they are perfectly al dente, then drain them well, ensuring they are ready to be filled with the delicious spinach mixture. While the shells are cooking, prepare the creamed spinach according to the package directions, then transfer it to a large bowl to cool slightly.
