A classic Italian-American comfort food that constantly goes viral for its cheese pulls and aesthetic cross-sections. It's essentially lasagna, but easier to serve and arguably more fun to eat.

Ingredients You Need

• 1 box jumbo pasta shells
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 large jar marinara sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the shells until slightly under al dente (they will finish cooking in the oven). Drain and rinse with cold water.

2. In a large bowl, mix the ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and Italian seasoning.

3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

4. Spoon the cheese mixture into each pasta shell and place them face-up in the baking dish.

5. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
