How to Make Cheese Filled Jumbo Shells

  1. Cook 1 pound of San Giorgio jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces ricotta cheese, 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Fill each cooked pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
  5. Spread a thin layer (about 1 cup) of your favorite marinara sauce on the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  6. Arrange the filled pasta shells in the baking pan.
  7. Cover the shells with the remaining marinara sauce (about 2 cups).
  8. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup), if desired.
  9. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Remove foil during the last 5 minutes of baking for browning.
