A simple, meatless pasta dish made with jumbo pasta shells, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, Mozzarella, and your favorite pasta sauce.
12 large pasta shells
1 cup pasta sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons basil or parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Filling: Mix together the ricotta, egg, half the Parmesan, half the mozzarella, basil or parsley, and sugar.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the shells for about 6 minutes, or unitl al dente. Drain well, being careful not to tear the shells.
Let the shells cool enough to handle then stuff them with the cheese filling.
Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. Place the shells in the pan in an even layer. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Bake at 350 degrees F, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove cover during the last 5 minutes and cook until bubbly and the cheese has melted.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I am just now starting to dabble in cooking....ashamed to admit, it is not my favorite thing to do. My husband loves stuffed shells so I thought I would give this recipe a try. Very easy to make...Can't wait to surprise him with dinner tonight!

I am a very inexperienced cook and I made this at home. I found it to be very easy to make and my husband and I loved it.
