Ingredients for Fantastic Stuffed Shells
- 1 package jumbo shells
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups marinara sauce (because, yes, we need that sauce!)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra mozzarella for topping (more cheese, please!)
Instructions to Make Your Kitchen Smell Amazing!
- First things first, boil those jumbo shells! Follow the package instructions, but feel free to throw in a tiny bit of salt for flavor. No one likes bland pasta, right?
- While your shells are having a hot bath, let’s get the cheesy filling ready. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and that lovely egg. Throw in some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix it like it’s the last thing you’ll do before a cheese-filled apocalypse!
- Once the shells are cooked and have cooled a bit (you don’t want to burn your hands!), carefully stuff them with the cheesy mixture. Don’t be shy; pack it in there!
- In a 9×13 baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Now, carefully place those stuffed shells on top of the sauce. Don’t worry if they’re a little bunched up—they’re family now!
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, and sprinkle some extra mozzarella on top. Because really, can you ever have too much cheese? I think not!
- Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and let it bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Finally, let this beauty cool for a few minutes before diving in. Grab a fork—actually, grab several forks, because sharing is optional when it comes to this dish!
There you have it—Stuffed Shells IV! So good, you might just declare every other pasta dish a bowing admirer! Enjoy!
