Stuffed Shells
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Total: 1 hr
Active: 25 min
Yield: 8 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

I first had these in NY for Lent. Our cook made them from scratch as well as her homemade sauce. YUM.

I love her cooking e her TV show she is a great
Chef ❤👍👍

[ellamone]

Good easy recipe. I find putting the shells face down is best. That way the sauce won't pool in the shells with the filling making the whole dish smoother without any drying out. Thanks!

[mandyanderson]

She actually has her own brand of marinara sauce that you can buy at the grocery store!!!!

[jpprophete]

I would eat that with not only bread but with a ceasar salad on the side as well.
