Equipment
Ingredients
- 28 jumbo pasta shells cooked al dente according to package directions (I made the whole box, in case some ripped.)
- 1 (24 oz) container cottage cheese drained
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided; 1 cup each
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese divided; 1/2 cup each
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (24 oz) jar pasta sauce plus more for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place cottage cheese, 1/2 of the mozzarella, 1/2 of the parmesan, Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and eggs into a food processor.
- Process until combined. It's okay if it's still a little chunky. Set aside.
- Pour half the sauce into the bottom of prepared pan.
- Stuff cooked shells with the cheese mixture (spoon it in or pipe using a ziplock baggie), then place them in prepared baking dish.
- Pour on remaining sauce then top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until edges are bubbly and shells are slightly set.
- Serve and enjoy!
