Serves/Makes: 6
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 24 jumbo pasta shells
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups ricotta or cottage cheese
- 3/4 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded
- chopped parsley, for garnish
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain the pasta in a colander, rinse under cold running water, and set aside to drain again. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, half of the basil, and the pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, and the remaining basil. Dividing evenly, stuff each of the shells with the ricotta mixture. Place the shells in a shallow 11 x 7 inch baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
