Three Cheese Stuffed Shells
Feast your eyes on this mouthwatering dish!
Ingredients
- 12 large pasta shells
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get that energy going!
- Cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper; mix well until creamy.
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. This helps to keep those shells from sticking and adds flavor!
- Now, take those cooked pasta shells and fill each with the cheesy goodness you just whipped up. Place them seam-side up in the baking dish.
- Once all your shells are filled and snug in the dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top. We don’t want anyone feeling left out!
- Finish it off by sprinkling the rest of that mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
- After that, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before diving in!
