Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake the Dish
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent burning the cheese) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
