Stuffed Shells

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Shells

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take each cooked pasta shell and fill it with the cheese and spinach mixture. Place the stuffed shells in a baking dish.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

    Serve

    Allow the stuffed shells to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious small stuffed shells!
