Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt.
- Add jumbo shells one at a time to prevent them from sticking. Boil until UNDER aldente. You want them to be firm so they don't break when you stuff them. They will continue to cook in the oven. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the shells from the pasta water. Set on a cutting board or large plate to cool.
- While the shells boil, heat a medium skillet to a medium heat. Add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach and garlic to a large bowl.
- Add shredded chicken, ricotta, fresh mozzarella cubes, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper to the spinach and garlic. Stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- Add marinara sauce and cream to the same pan you cooked the spinach and garlic in. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir in parmesan cheese. Once the cheese has melted, remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce into a 9x12 baking dish or a similar size. Use a spoon or your hands to stuff the filling into the shells. Arrange them in the pan. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered until hot and bubbly and the cheese has melted, about 25-30 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil

Steps:
- Cook shells according to package directions. Be careful not to overcook them or they will tear easily when trying to fill them. Drain and set shells out individually on a cutting board or baking sheet so that they don't stick together.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two 9x13 baking dishes.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken and all the rest of the ingredients except mozzarella and spaghetti sauce. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella. Spoon into shells. *Tip: For easier filling, fill a gallon ziplock baggie with the filling and snip a quarter size hole off the corner of the bag. Then you can just pipe the filling into the shells.
- Spread half of spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dishes. Arrange shells over sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. If you are freezing one of the 9x13 prepared pans, freeze it after this step. Include a baggy of the remaining mozzarella for when you cook it.
- Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Makes 8-10 servings.

CHEESY SPINACH-STUFFED SHELLS
This is my own personal recipe. I'm very proud of it because I am still a beginner cook and it was the first recipe I created. You can adjust it to your liking by doubling the spinach or adding some meat. -Laci Hooten, McKinney, Texas

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch dish with cooking spray. Pour 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce into the bottom of the dish. Save the rest of the sauce for later.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, spinach, ricotta, 1 ½ cups of the mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, basil, salt, garlic powder and nutmeg.
- Stuff each shell with the chicken mixture. Depending on how full you stuff each shell, you might not need all of the shells in the box. I can typically fill and fit about 20-22 shells in my pan. If you have extra shells and stuffing, you can assemble them in a small dish and save it for another meal (or bake it at the same time as the larger dish).
- Arrange stuffed shells in the prepared baking dish, open side up. Pour remaining 1 cup of Alfredo sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil cover during the final 5-10 minutes to allow the top to get a little bit crisp.
