This pasta shell recipe is comforting with Ricotta, Parmesan, and herb stuffing. It is easy to make and is always a Super hit with the kids. A few days back, I made marinara sauce from scratch, and some ricotta cheese was left after making Cannoli, so I thought of baking this mixed cheese-stuffed pasta for kids' dinner.

Ingredients-

Jumbo Pasta Shells.

Homemade or Store-bought marinara sauce.

Ricotta Cheese.

Parmesan Cheese

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

Fresh Basil

Italian Seasoning

Crushed Pepper Flakes.

Salt

Olive Oil

How to cook stuffed shell pasta?

Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper flakes.

Partially boil pasta in salted water. It should be al dente enough to hold the shape while baking.

Preheat oven to 350 f.

Stuff all the shells with cheese mixture.

Cover with marinara sauce and cheese.

Drizzle some olive oil on the top.

Bake for 20 -25 minutes till the cheese oozes out and it's golden brown on the top.
