Cheesy Stuffed Pasta Shells
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
  • 1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 8 ounces grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
Instructions
1
Begin by heating your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, fill a large container with salted water and bring it to the boiling point. Add your pasta and cook until it reaches a perfect balance of tenderness and firmness, lasting around 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the water.
3
Simultaneously, prepare a large mixing bowl by combining ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Meanwhile, combine your pasta sauce with the sautéed mushrooms in a medium-sized bowl. Add the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until they are fully incorporated.
5
Now, fill your baking dish with the prepared shells and add a generous amount of the ricotta mixture. Pour the pasta sauce mixture over the top, ensuring that each shell is well-coated.
6
Finally, place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the edges start to bubble and the shells are slightly set, taking anywhere from 35 to 60 minutes.

Serve your dish hot and indulge in its delicious flavors!
