Ingredients
  • 20 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

Instructions
  1. 1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped spinach, cooking until spinach wilts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. 4In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, cooked mushroom and spinach mixture, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. 5Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. 6Stuff each cooked shell with the ricotta mixture and place them open side up in the baking dish.
  7. 7Top the stuffed shells with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
  8. 8Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  9. 9Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
