Leanne’s Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the jumbo shells according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Thaw the spinach and drain well. Wring it in a clean towel until as much moisture as possible is removed.
- Thinly slice the basil. Shred the mozzarella and grate the Parmesan, keeping them separate.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the spinach, ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the egg, basil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Pour 2 cups of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 13×9-inch baking dish.
- Stuff each pasta shell with a generous amount of the spinach and ricotta mixture. Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish.
- Cover with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the sauce begins to bubble.
