Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
8 ounces jumbo pasta shells
30 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
12 leaves fresh basil, cut into chiffonade
1 large egg
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Parmesan, grated
2 jars good-quality marinara sauce
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
Crusty French bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook for half the cooking time on the package; make sure not to overcook. Drain and rinse in cool water. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, Romano, parsley, basil, egg, some salt and pepper and half of the Parmesan. Stir until combined.
  • To assemble, coat the bottom of a baking dish with some sauce. Fill each half-cooked shell with the cheese mixture and place face-down on the sauce. Repeat with the shells until the cheese mixture is gone. Top the shells with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle on the mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
  • Bake until hot and bubbly, 25 minutes. Serve with crusty French bread.

STUFFED PASTA SHELLS FOR MEAT-LOVERS



Stuffed Pasta Shells for Meat-Lovers image

These are quite possible the best you can make! I came up with this recipe to satisfy my carnivorous family and incorporate my love for Italian food. These have a ton of meat, but still a nice amount of the traditional ricotta cheese and spinach. These can also be great appetizer, due to the large amount the recipe yields.

Tips

  • To make your shells easier to stuff, boil them for 2-3 minutes less than the package directions. This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag to pipe the filling into the shells. Just snip off the corner of the bag and pipe away!
  • To prevent your shells from sticking together, spread a thin layer of olive oil or marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish before adding the shells.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made marinara sauce. Just be sure to doctor it up with some fresh herbs and spices to give it some extra flavor.
  • To make your shells even more cheesy, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top before baking.
