Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups chicken shredded or chopped
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons basil dried
  • 1 teaspoons parsley dried
  • 2 cups cream whipping cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 12 ounces jumbo pasta shells 1 package, weight is approximate
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. 
  2. Boil jumbo shells until just shy of al dente, about 3 minutes short of the full cooking time listed on the package. 
  3. Combine chicken ricotta cheese, egg, and spices together. Set aside. 
  4. Combine cream, parmesan cheese, and garlic. Set aside. 
  5. In a 9x13 pan (see note), pour about ½ cup of the cream sauce. 
  6. Fill each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture, dividing it up evenly between all, or most of, the shells. 
  7. Place the shells, open side up, in the pan in a single layer. 1 package is about 20 shells.  
  8. Pour remaining cream sauce evenly over the top. 
  9. Top with mozzarella cheese and cover with foil. 
  10. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil. Continue baking until bubbly all the way through and light brown on top, about 10 more minutes. 

Notes

  • A 9x13 pan or a pan close to that size will work best for this recipe. An 8x8 pan is a bit too small to fit all the shells and sauce.
