For an extra layer of flavor, brown a pound of Italian sausage or ground beef and mix it into the spaghetti sauce. Ricotta cheese can be substituted for cottage cheese. Feel free to add other vegetables to the cheese mixture, such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini. Use a piping bag to stuff the shells for a mess-free and quicker process.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the jumbo shells and cook until they are al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
03 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, eggs, and garlic powder. Gently crush the dried oregano and parsley between your fingers to release their aromatic oils, then incorporate them into the cheese mixture. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Carefully stuff each cooked shell with the cheese mixture, ensuring they are generously filled.
05 Step
Recipe View Spread 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce evenly across the bottom of a 15x10-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells, seam-side up, snugly together in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the shells, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top. (15 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Allow the shells to rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
07 Step
Recipe View Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
