Notes
For The Love of Food Blog
Start with a thick marinara sauce. I used The Pioneer Woman brand that was sent to me.
If you can’t find it, any brand marinara, around 20-24oz, will work.
Spread half the jar of pasta sauce on the bottom of a large baking dish.
Spread to cover the entire bottom evenly.
In a large mixing bowl add ricotta, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, and drained spinach and stir until blended.
Spoon approximately about 1 tbsp mixture into each pasta shell.
Place the shells in the prepared dish.
Repeat until the dish is full.
Pour the remaining 1/2 jar of pasta sauce on top of the shells, spreading to cover.
Sprinkle on 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!
