Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 4-5 cups Spaghetti Sauce or your favorite marinara sauce
  • 24 Jumbo shells pasta
  • 1 (16 ounce) cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp dry parsley flakes
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. Add uncooked jumbo shells to boiling, salted water and boil for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. While pasta is boiling, prepare filling by mixing together the cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese), the egg, Parmesan cheese, sugar and parsley flakes. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Next, lightly spray the bottom of a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and spread approx. 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the sprayed pan.
  5. When noodles are done cooking, drain them and immediately start filling each noodle with a spoonful of the cheese mixture. (Remember, you need to fill 24 shells, so don’t stuff them too full.)
  6. Place the stuffed shells in the 9x13 pan in three rows of 8.
  7. Next, pour the remainder of the sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
  8. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and sprinkle with 2 cups of Mozzarella cheese. Return to oven (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is nice and bubbly.
  10. Allow shells to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. Enjoy!
