Instructions

Cook pasta shells 4 minutes short of package instructions.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan cheese, two cups of mozzarella, Italian seasoning, egg, and fresh basil. Stir to combine together.
Spread 12 oz of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (9X13 size).
Fill each shell with the ricotta mixture and place it in the baking dish.
Top the shells off with remaining marinara and mozzarella. Cover the dish with a lid or foil.
Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes or until cheese is a lightly golden color.
