Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Shell Noodles

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the salt and shell noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Toss

    Once cooked, drain the shell noodles in a colander and return them to the pot. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.

  3. 3

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Pour the marinara sauce over the noodles and stir gently to combine. Heat over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is warmed through.

    Serve

    Serve the noodles in bowls, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and fresh basil if desired.
