Stuffed Shells

Ingredients

1 box jumbo shell pasta
1 jar favorite spaghetti sauce
1 small container ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning
salt

Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, mix the ricotta, 1 tsp salt, dash of italian seasong, and large handfull of mozzarella cheese and egg together. When the pasta is done, drain it and rinse with cold water until you can handle it. Then fill the pasta with the cheese mixture and place in a 9X13 dish that you put a layer of sauce across the bottom (so it won't stick).




Cover with remaining pasta.


Top with cheese and sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top.


Cover and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes.


My mom puts a frozen Italian meatball in each shell instead of the cheese combo and she says it is awesome. I like cheese better than meat.

Looks yummy! I sometimes sneak some veggies, like spinach, into my stuffed shells. Gotta get those greens in somehow!
