SHELLS RECIPE

Jumbo pasta shells 20-22 or 12 oz cooked to package instructions
Marinara Sauce 26 oz (jarred or homemade)
Ricotta cheese 15 oz
Parmesan cheese, grated 1/2 cup
Mozzarella cheese, shredded 3 cups, divided
Garlic powder 1 tsp
Salt 3/4 tsp
Black pepper 1/2 tsp
Oregano 1 tsp

Parsley chopped 2 tbsp plus more to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Preheat the oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).

2- In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook shells for 8-10 mins until al dente. You want the shells to be just slightly under-cooked because they will finish cooking in the oven. (Or cook according to the package instructions).

3- Drain and fill pot with cold water to stop the cooking process and keep the pasta from sticking to each other.

4- Spread the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish.

5- In a medium bowl, add ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and parsley. Stir to combine.

6- Fill the shells with about 1-2 tbsp of ricotta filling (do not overstuff).

7- Place the stuffed shells open side up in the baking dish over the marinara sauce in a single layer.

8- Pour the rest of sauce over the stuffed shells.

9- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and parsley over the top.

10- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 mins then broil uncovered for 3-4 mins or until the cheese is lightly browned.

11- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
