~ Cheesy Stuffed Shells ~ image

My family love these shells over the meat filled version. Any cheeses would work, according to your liking. I switch them up at times, but always come back to our original version. Enjoy!

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb container ricotta cheese
1 c fresh shredded parmesan cheese
2 eggs plus 2 yolks
3 c fresh shredded mozzarella
1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp each - garlic powder and black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
16 oz favorite pasta sauce
1 - 12 oz large stuffing type shells
I topped with 4 ounces of fresh mozzarella , shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare shells per box directions. Al dente works great, rinse. In a medium bowl, mix together the cheeses. Beat eggs lightly and stir them in along with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Using a casserole dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of dish. Evenly stuff each shell and lay cheese side up into dish, until full. You may need to use another dish. Continue until cheese is gone. If you have extra noodles, I just fill in the crack with them.
  • 3. Ladle sauce across the middle of each shell, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle the top with more mozzarella. Place back into oven until cheese is melted and pasta bubbling. I usually heat up extra sauce and serve with.

These shells were delicious, but they were a lot of work to make. I think I will only make them for special occasions.

The recipe was a little confusing, and the shells didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

The shells were a little dry, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I think I will add a little more sauce next time.

These shells were a little too cheesy for my taste, but my family loved them. I think next time I will use less cheese.

These shells are always a hit when I serve them at parties. They're elegant enough for a special occasion, but they're also simple enough for a casual get-together.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of filling you like, and you can even make it vegetarian by using a meatless sauce.

These shells are perfect for a weeknight meal. They're quick and easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

I didn't have any Parmesan cheese on hand, so I used grated Romano cheese instead. It was a great substitute, and it gave the shells a nice nutty flavor.

I used a jarred marinara sauce instead of making my own, and it worked out great. The shells were still very flavorful, and it saved me a lot of time.

The shells were a little too al dente for my liking, so I boiled them for an extra minute before stuffing them. They turned out perfect!

I added a little bit of spinach and chopped mushrooms to the filling, and it was delicious! It gave the shells a nice pop of color and flavor.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It turned out great! The shells were still creamy and flavorful, but without the strong ricotta flavor.
