Don't let the list of stuff fool ya, this is EXTREMELY easy and kid friendly to make!!!
Stuffed Shells
What You Need
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Boil the shells until they are done (like spaghetti) and drain and rinse. Leave them in the strainer in the sink.
Open a jar of spaghetti sauce and line a cake pan or casserole dish with it (just dump it in and shake the pan til it evens out)
In a big bowl mix up 1 3/4 cups of the mozzerella (the extra is to top the shells not stuff them), all of the ricotta, 1/2 cup of the parmesean cheese, and the parsley. Easiest way to do this is to dump everything in the bowl and squish it with your hands (the kids LOVE it)
Now, grab one of those shells, open it up carefully and stuff it with the ricotta mixture! Its messy. Dont try to be neat about it.
After they are stuffed put em in the pan you dumped the spaghetti sauce in.
When the pan is full, open up the other jar of the spaghetti sauce and dump it all over the shells that you have ever so neatly (yeah right) arranged in the pan.
Cover the pan with foil. and bake for about 45 minutes (30 minutes works if you are in a hurry) everyting should be all bubbley in there. Remove the foil after your cooking time is done. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzerella over the shells and put back int he oven (or just leave it, it'll melt I promise) for five minutes. DINNER IS SERVED!
