Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add your jumbo pasta shells. Cook them for 8–10 minutes, or until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and egg. Mix until creamy.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes. Stir into the ricotta mixture.
- Sprinkle in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Fill each shell with 2 tablespoons of the filling. Place shells open side up in the dish and pour remaining marinara sauce over.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
