Ingredients

  • 20 Jumbo pasta shells
  • 15 oz Ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups fresh Spinach, chopped
  • 8 oz Mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups Marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, sautéed mushroom mixture, half of the mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Stuff the Shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a spoon, fill each jumbo shell with the cheese and spinach mixture. Place the stuffed shells in a baking dish.
  5. Add Marinara Sauce: Pour the marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Bake the Dish: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.
