Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Stuff each pasta shell with the cheese-spinach filling and place them seam-side up in the dish.
- Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan before serving.
