Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 1 hour

  • Ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup of fresh spinach chopped

  • 1/2 tbs. dried basil
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium sized pot filled with water bring up to a boil and add a teaspoon of salt, add in jumbo shells and boil according to instructions on the box.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, spinach, onion, garlic, dried basil, salt and pepper.
