Remember: If the shells are perfectly cooked in the first step, they'll be mushy and flabby after baking.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pasta     Ricotta     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Mozzarella     Cheese     Tomato     Bake

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces jumbo pasta shells
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
2 cups whole-milk fresh ricotta
3 ounces Parmesan, finely grated, plus more for serving
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, coarsely grated, divided
3 cups Classic Marinara Sauce, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook shells in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente; drain. Run under cold water to stop the cooking and drain again.
  • Lightly whisk egg yolks and egg in a large bowl. Stir in ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella; season with salt and pepper. Transfer filling to a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Spread 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce in a 13x9" baking dish. Snip off 1 end of plastic bag and, working one at a time, squeeze filling into shells, arranging them in a single layer in baking dish as you go. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake shells until sauce is bubbling throughout, 35-40 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
  • Carefully move rack to top of oven and heat broiler. Uncover pasta and broil until lightly browned on top, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano and more Parmesan and drizzle with oil.
  • Do Ahead
  • Pasta can be baked 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat, covered, at 375°F.

COOKING LIGHT'S BASIC MARINARA SAUCE



Cooking Light's Basic Marinara Sauce image

This sauce consists mostly of pantry staples. Keep canned crushed tomatoes on hand, and you can prepare a batch of sauce any time. For the best taste, look for chunky tomatoes without added herbs or spices. Buy low-sodium or no-salt-added tomatoes so the finished sauce tastes more of tomatoes than salt. Cento and Eden Organic brands are recommened. Because marinara is a long-simmered sauce, dried herbs are best. They soften and maintain more flavor during the long cook time. Crumble them in your palm to release more of their tasty essential oils. The slow heat will compromise the delicate, fruity flavor of expensive extra virgin olive oil. Regular olive oil will work nicely in the marinara. Rely on a large Dutch oven or stockpot because this recipe makes enough sauce for several meals. Cook at a low simmer - just a few bubbles every few seconds will yield the deepest taste. October 2007
