• 12 jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water. Meanwhile, mix ricotta, mozzarella, 2 tbsp Parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. 

Place shells, open side up, on a large sheet of wax paper. Spoon ricotta mixture evenly into shells. Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce into a glass casserole dish big enough to hold the shells in a single layer. Lay shells side-by-side, open side up, in dish. Spoon remaining marinara sauce over top; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes.
