Ingredients
- 12 ounces jumbo pasta shells uncooked (approximately 35 shells)
- 32 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning click link for the recipe
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 32 ounces marinara sauce click link for the recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Add the jumbo shells and cook 4-5 minutes, drain, then set aside in an even layer on a cutting board to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, fresh basil, Italian seasoning and salt.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into the cooked shells.
- Pour 1 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9 inch by 13 inch baking dish.
- Place the filled shells in a single layer on top of the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the shells.
- Evenly spread the remaining two cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the shells in the baking dish.
- Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
Notes
- Marinara sauce: if you would prefer to cover the shells in a meat sauce, you can make my Italian sausage marinara, or bolognese sauce with ground beef.
- This dish can be assembled up to two days in advance. Cover and store it in the fridge, until you’re ready to bake the stuffed shells. You can also freeze uncooked shells for up to 6 months in the freezer. It's best to store them in an airtight container with a lid. If you don’t have a casserole dish with a lid, you can tightly cover it with two pieces of foil instead.
