Today, I have a treat for all of you. I’m going to share one of my favorite all-season recipes and that is a 3-CHEESE STUFFED SHELLS MARINARA.

This is one of my best sellers for the Holidays and the reason why it’s one of my favorites is it uses my homemade marinara sauce!

Mozzarella Cheese (grated.  Add salt, pepper and some garlic power and parsley)

Ricotta (Add an egg and beat to mix through, salt and pepper)

Grated Romano (fresh grated)

Mix all of the cheeses together.  Refrigerate overnight if you can.  Not absolutely necessary.

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

When you are ready to prepare the shells, cook Large shells as directed, but less cooking time, maybe 10 minutes instead of 12.

Remove them from the water and set aside on paper towels on a baking sheet so the water can drain off them. Put a layer of my marinara sauce (either smooth or chunky), on the bottom of a baking dish. Using a tablespoon and spoon heaping portion into each shell and place in a row in a baking pan, cheese side up.  Pour marinara sauce over the top of each shell and sprinkle with more Romano cheese.  Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes at 350 just to melt all the cheeses.

This only works with a good-tasting marinara sauce.  So, make sure you have made your purchase of one my sauces before you start.
