Equipment
Ingredients
- 48 oz Spicy Italian-Style Sauce
- 12 oz Jumbo Shells
- 2 egg
- 32 oz Ricotta Cheese
- 1 lb Mozzarella Cheese
- 8 oz Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉
- Boil jumbo shells for 7 minutes. You want them to be al dente. They will finish cooking in the oven.12 oz Jumbo Shells
- Add eggs to a mixing bowl and beat them before adding additional ingredients.2 egg
- Mix the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in with the eggs. You can also add one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese in with this mixture instead of stuffing it into the shells like I did. I basically just added an extra step for myself for no reason.32 oz Ricotta Cheese, 8 oz Parmesan Cheese, 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
- Drain jumbo shells and place them on a board for stuffing. Since they are al dente, they are easy to work with. I use a spreader to stuff the cheese mixture into the shells.
- Spread a layer of Spicy Italian Style Sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.48 oz Spicy Italian-Style Sauce
- Add stuffed shells on top of sauce.
- Dump the rest of your Spicy Italian Style Sauce on top of the shells.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Slice fresh mozzarella cheese. Top your dish after it has baked for 30 minutes. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling. You can also use shredded mozzarella cheese here, but I love the way the fresh cheese gets super melty.1 lb Mozzarella Cheese
