Classic Stuffed Shells
Ricotta Stuffed Shells! These easy and simple ricotta stuffed shells are filled with savory ricotta and mozzarella then baked on a bed of flavorful marinara. The whole family will enjoy!
Ingredients
Method
- Cook jumbo shells pasta according to the package instructions until they are al dente. You want the shells to be just slightly under-cooked because they will finish cooking in the oven. Once cooked, strain, and set aside to cool down enough to be handled.
- Combine ricotta cheese, egg, herbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and seasoning in a mixing bowl. Mix everything well, until all ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout.
- Fill each shell with about 1.5-2 tablespoons of ricotta filling and place it in the dish.
- Sprinkle some Mozzarella cheese and oregano over each shell and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
Notes
I don’t like to place shells seam down because the filling often leaks out of the shells, so place shells in the dish seam up.
