Step-by-step
- Cook shells according to package directions. Place in cold water to stop cooking. Drain.
- Mix together cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, and garlic powder. Rub the dried herbs in the palms of your hands to pulverize them, and stir into the cheese mixture. Stuff mixture into the shells.
- Spread 1/3 of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 15 x 10 inch pan. Place shells open side up, and close together in pan. Spread remaining sauce over top, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
I've been making this dish for years, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
The best part about this dish is that it's so versatile. You can use any type of pasta shells that you like, and you can fill them with your favorite cheese mixture. I like to use a combination of cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese, but you can use whatever you like. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked meat, vegetables, or herbs.
Once the shells are filled, they're baked in a tomato sauce. You can use your favorite store-bought sauce, or you can make your own. I like to make my own sauce using a combination of canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasonings.
The shells are baked until they're bubbly and hot. Then, they're ready to serve. I like to serve them with a side of garlic bread or a salad.
This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It's easy to make, it's delicious, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.
