Ingredients

  • 24 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 container whole milk ricotta cheese (425g/15-ounce)
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided (340g)
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided (90g)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley divided
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups marinara sauce divided (720ml)

Instructions

1.               Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2.               Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Generously season with salt and add the pasta shells. Return to a boil. Boil, uncovered until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well.

3.               While the pasta is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and egg. Stir until well blended.

4.               Spread ½ of marinara in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill the shells with the ricotta mixture and place on top of the marinara in the baking dish. Spoon the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce over the shells. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan. Loosely cover with foil.

5.               Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until it begins to brown. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley before serving.Bottom of Form
