Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Boil water and cook shells according to directions on package. Drain the shells, spray them with cooking spray (to prevent sticking) and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, egg, Italian seasoning and 1 cup of mozzarella until combined well.
  • Fill each shell with a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture.
  • Spray a 9×13 casserole dish. Fill the casserole dish with the stuffed shells. You can fit four rows of five shells.
  • Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce over the stuffed shells.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes.

Notes

  • You can prepare these stuffed shells the night before and cover them and place them in the refrigerator. You can then pop them in the oven the next day when you are ready to use them.
  • Whole milk mozzarella is my favorite to use in this recipe because I find it melts easier and is richer.
