I pre-made this the night before.  I have an eye doctor appointment at 4:30pm and didn't want to not make dinner that night, and this is easy for Andy to throw into the oven while I am getting tortured by the eye doctor.  :)  I found the recipe on pinterest and it turned out great!

Baked Stuffed Pasta Shells

Thanks to Food.com for a great recipe in our household!

• 12 ounces jumbo pasta shells
• 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (Reserve 1/4 cup)
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 lbs ricotta cheese
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 8 ounces spaghetti sauce (jarred or homemade)
• fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

In an 8 quart pot, bring water to a boil and cook shells for 8 minutes or until al dente

Drain and cool immediately with cold water.

Drain and place open side down on paper towels.

In a medium bowl, combine the rest of ingredients except the spaghetti sauce.

Reserve the 1/4 cup of Mozzarella.

Place a thin layer of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a 12 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spoon the cheese mixture into each pasta shell and place open side up, in a single layer, in prepared pan.

Pour the rest of sauce over the stuffed shells.

Loosely cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.

During last 5 minutes of baking, remove foil and sprinkle remaining Mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake 5 more minutes.

Garnish with fresh chopped basil.

After Snack Entertainment

  There is this house by our's that does a light show with music and we stopped by for a couple of songs.  The photo doesnt do it justice, it is too cool!!  They take donations and the money is donated to a local food pantry, they are even cooler in my book now.  :)
