Background Story:
I picked stuffed shells because my mother’s side of the family is Italian, so I’ve been eating great Italian dishes my whole. But these are by far the BEST!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 24 jumbo pasta shells cooked according to package directions
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided use
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cups marinara sauce divided use
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- cooking spray
Instructions:
- Start by boiling your large pasta shells.
- While the shells are cooking, prepare the filling by mixing together ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, along with seasonings and egg.
- Use a spoon to fill each cooked shell with the cheese mixture.
- Pour marinara sauce into the bottom of a baking dish, then arrange the shells on top of the sauce.
- Spoon more sauce over the shells, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake the pasta covered for roughly 30 minutes, then uncovered until browned.
- Add a touch of fresh parsley, AND BOOM! Enjoy 🙂
