Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 oz box jumbo pasta shells
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried crushed red pepper flakes, optional
2 clove garlic
3/4 c chopped sweet onion
1 Tbsp sugar
2-15 oz containers ricotta cheese
1 1/3 c parmesan cheese grated
4 large egg yolks
3 Tbsp chopped fresh italian parsley leaves
3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly oil, or spray Pam a 12 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • 2. Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté, Add Garlic and sauté until tender. Add 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes (Red Pack) . Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often. Add sugar.
  • 3. Partially cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly tender but still quite firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. You will continue cooking the shells in the oven after they have been stuffed. Using a slotted spoon, drain pasta shells and place on oiled baking sheet, spreading them out so that they don't stick together and allow to cool.
  • 4. In a medium bowl, stir the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolks, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 5. Spoon 1 1/4 cups of the sauce over the prepared baking dish. Fill the cooked shells with the cheese mixture, about 2 tablespoons per shell. Arrange the shells in the prepared dish. Spoon the remaining sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the mozzarella.
  • 6. Bake until the filling is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let it rest 15 minutes before serving.

This recipe was a disaster. The shells were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought the arrabbiata sauce was a bit too spicy, but the shells were cooked perfectly. I would make this recipe again, but I would use a different sauce.
