Ingredients
- 18-20 jumbo pasta shells
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 28 ounces marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup parsley (plus more for garnish)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and set aside a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Cook the jumbo shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Rinse and drain, then spread them out on a baking sheet so they don't stick.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the marinara and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer, then pour into the casserole dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 ½ cups of mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, and egg.
- Fill each shell with about 2 tablespoons of ricotta filling and place in the casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is lightly golden. Garnish with extra parsley. Enjoy!
