RECIPE FOR STUFFED SHELLS WITH EXTRA CHEESE

In just 20 minutes you’ll have these creamy stuffed shells ready to bake and trust me you’ll wonder why you didn’t make them sooner. If you’re like me and love cheese lasagna but want extra ricotta with every bite this dish is an absolute dream come true. It’s incredibly comforting and delicious – my family always goes back for seconds!

You can get ahead of schedule by partially preparing this recipe ahead of time. Fill the pasta shells and place them in the baking dish the day before and store them in the refrigerator. On the day of baking remove them from the baking dish an hour beforehand let them warm to room temperature and bake as directed (or simply bake them a little longer until the shells are warmed through).

What really sets shells apart from other pastas is their soft chewy texture and their attractive shell shape. It’s important not to overcook them; they should be al dente as they will continue to cook a little in the oven. The pasta shells will absorb the marinara sauce as they cook so every bite is bursting with flavor.
