Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Mozzarella block shredded
  • 1 Colby block shredded
  • 1 small container cottage cheese /Ricotta cheese large or small curd doesn't matter, I prefer the cottage cheese but to each their own!
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Box Jumbo shells
  • 1 jar Your favorite marinara sauce you might need a jar and a half, we usually use Bertolli Marinara and Burgundy wine or Lucky’s Market Roasted Garlic
  • Parmesan cheese*

Instructions
 

  • Get the water boiling and follow the directions on the box.
  • Our box said boil for 9 minutes if baking.
  • Shred the blocks of cheese. Mix together the cottage cheese and two eggs, then add the shredded cheese and mix.
  • You can add seasoning like salt and pepper or this delicious Penzy's frozen pizza blend we received as a gift. When we made this for Miss A the first time, we left out the spices and just sprinkled them on before we ate.
  • Pour about 1/3 cup of the pasta sauce on the bottom of your favorite baking dish.
  • Drain the pasta and shock with cold water.
  • Drain again.
  • Using a soup spoon (or your favorite spoon) stuff the shells and line the baking dish.
  • Pour remaining sauce (you might need another half a jar to get all of the pasta covered). Bake at 350 degrees for at least a half an hour or until all the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
