1 cup pasta sauce
1/2 cup Parmesan

1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
Salt to taste
What To Do
Preheat oven to 350
Boil water ( add pinch of salt) – cook shells till they are al dente ( so they are not fully cooked but still edible)

In a medium mixing bowl mix all the filling ingredients + 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
Spoon filling into each shell and place in pan and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top

I was just looking in my fridge yesterday wondering what I should do with the ricotta cheese I have. Thank you!!
BTW, I made your Crock Pot Creamy Spaghetti Recipe last night and it was awesome! 😀

This looks totally awesome…I love your recipes although sometimes I do try to take them down in the calorie count….but you do such a GREAT job on showing how the recipe comes together…You are AWESOME! I recommend your site to all my FB friends <3

Oh thank you so much. I try and make my recipe easy to adapt. I try and limit how much butter I use and I try and not fry anything. Again enjoy 🙂

This looks so amazing! I always want to make these but shy away from them because we don’t use eggs in the house – what would be a good substitute for the egg in this recipe? By the way, this is an AWESOME site (echoing the above poster’s sentiments) SO glad I found you on Pinterest! 🙂
Budget Savvy Diva
You do not need to use eggs — it still will be yummy 🙂

I came across your pinterest site and then ended up here. So glad! As a FT student and working single mom I am always looking for easy and healthy homemade foods. I tend to devote one weekend a month to cooking a ton of foods and freezing them for usage during the month. I made these and not only did they freeze well but were so delicious! I can’t wait to see what other ideas you have in store!!!

Glad to have you here 🙂

I am going to try this with my Family, and use some Tastefully Simple Spinach and Herb dip mix, and Garlic Garlic, and I know it will be wonderful! I think I will use the Mama Mia Marinara sauce mix too! Can’t wait to try this!

I made this recipe last night for a dinner with friends. It was super easy to make & was delicious. Your photos were helpful in figuring out how to get the 25 shells in the pan 🙂 We decided that adding some warmed sauce prior to serving along with some fresh Parmesan would be good. We thought it needed the extra sauce to balance out the flavors. I served it with garlic bread & salad.
Everyone agreed this recipe is a keeper!
Amy
I made this tonight. It was so easy I used my home made sause and added hot italian sausage to the bottom. My kids loved it!
Amber
When you say pasta sauce what do you recommend!?
Budget Savvy Diva
Any will work — I go for a tomato and basil
Mabel
If I added ground turkey, should I do it to the sauce underneath or mix it in the filling? Would I cook it up before stuffing them? Thanks so much!
Teresa Henninger
Looks yummy but I don’t see how 25 stuffed shells will fit in an 8×8 pan. Did you stuff all 25 shells?
