Stuffed Shells

Ingredients

• 20 jumbo pasta shells
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• 2 cup mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• 2 clove garlic
• 24 oz marinara sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook pasta shells according to package directions until al dente; drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
4. Carefully stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta mixture and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are mostly covered.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.
8. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
