Classic Stuffed Shells Recipe
Jumbo shells stuffed with creamy ricotta and hearty spinach, baked to perfection in a zesty marinara sauce and topped with bubbly, golden cheese!
Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spritz a 9x13" baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta shells and cook until al dente, per package instructions. Drain, then immediately run under cold water to stop cooking.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta, spinach, ⅓ cup of Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, dried parsley, basil, oregano, and pepper. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag or a large zippered bag and cut off ½-inch at the end.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Fill each pasta shell with the ricotta mixture and arrange them in the baking dish, ensuring the filling is divided evenly. You might have to squish the shells a little to fit.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is melted.
