Stuffed Shells

I'm on an Italian food kick. I love pasta--I could eat it every day. I saw this recipe a couple days ago and it looked so easy I had to do it! It had spinach in the recipe and Jon doesn't eat it, so I omitted it but I think I'll make the spinach version soon. It was still good without it. I served it with corn (I loveee corn) and garlic bread.

Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 container (15 ounces) non-fat ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley leaves
  • 2 teaspoons no-salt herb and garlic seasoning
  • 24 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drained
  • 1 jar of pasta sauce
Directions:
  1. Place eggs, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and seasoning mix in bowl. Mix until combined.
  2. Fill each shell with 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese mixture. 
  3. Place filled shells in 9- x 13-inch baking pan. Pour marinara sauce over shells.
  4. Cover pan with foil. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until bubbly.

    I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture while we were eating. Here it is in a container I packed for Jon to take to work for lunch though!
