Stuffed Shells...you can do this!

It's a cold night so it's time to heat up the kitchen!

Preheat oven to 350F

1 box jumbo shells

30oz ricotta 

2 eggs

8 oz grated parm

16 oz shredded mozzarella 

2tlbsp dry parsley

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 jars sauce...a homemade sauce recipe is on its way soon!

Boil shells until they are very aldente...cuz you're gonna bake them.

Run them under cool water so you can handle them.

In a bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta, half the parm and half the mozzarella, salt, pepper and parsley.  Stuff a plastic storage bag with the cheese goodness and carefully pipe into the cool shells.  Add all shells to a deep glass or ceramic baking dish.  Cover with sauce.  Top with parm and extra mozzarella.  Bake at 350 for 45-60...uncovered...look for bubbling.

Tonight,  I froze most of the shells on a cookie sheet.  I placed 4/5 in 2 small Corning wear bowls , covered with sauce and cheese which made 2 beautiful individual servings.  

Enjoy! 

( I have also cut the recipe in half and it works just fine.)
