Stuffed Shells Recipe

The other night I tried a new recipe that I found on Lauren's blog for stuffed shells. It was so yummy! You would be shocked if you knew how much of it I ate in one sitting. It was ridiculous!


Cheese Filling:
16 oz. ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/2 to 3/4 cup plain cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chives, chopped

1 24 oz. jar of marinara sauce

Directions:
1. Cook large pasta shells according to box
2. Drain pasta and let cool.
3. In medium bowl, beat egg with fork. add cheeses and salt, mix together until well blended. add chives.
4. In 13x9 in pan, pour about half of the jar of marinara sauce to cover the bottom. begin filling shells with filling mixture and arranging them in a single layer in the pan.

5. Once you have filled the pan with stuffed shells, cover with the remaining marinara sauce.
6. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and leftover chives.

7. Bake at 350 degrees - 30 minutes covered, 15 minutes uncovered

We will definitely be making this again!
