Ingredients

    12 oz box of jumbo pasta shells (approximately 36 shells)
    24 oz jar of pasta sauce, divided
    15 oz part skim Ricotta cheese
    16 oz 1% low fat cottage cheese
    ½ c grated Parmesan cheese
    1 T Italian seasoning
    Salt, to taste
    1 c shredded 2% Mozzarella cheese

Tips

You can also make these with sausage.


Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350. Spread ½ cup of the pasta sauce across the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to package directions. Drain.
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and salt and stir until thoroughly combined. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into each pasta shell, placing the filled shells into the prepared baking dish. Fitting all 36 stuffed shells in the dish is a tight squeeze! Spoon the sauce over the top of the shells and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until heated through and cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.

    O.K.
    This recipe is apparently misnamed. I was looking for a vegetarian dish, and this popped up. This should be corrected so that it doesn't get lost in the meat section. - 5/22/16
