Ricotta shells stuffed with cheese are the perfect dinner and family favorite.
My kids love these huge shells stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella cheese on top of a layer of marinara sauce. They always disappear quickly and heat up well.
The stuffed shells are similar to Italian manicotti or cannelloni. Stuffed shells are jumbo pasta shells stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Pasta crusts are perfect pockets for easy filling.
