- —marinara sauce
- —Parmesan cheese (grated)

How to make it
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Preheating the oven ensures that your stuffed shells will cook evenly and thoroughly.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Combining these ingredients creates a flavorful filling for your stuffed shells.
Stir in the cooked ground beef and half of the mozzarella cheese into the ricotta mixture.
Adding the beef and cheese enhances the filling with protein and creaminess.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
The sauce creates a flavorful base and keeps the shells moist during baking.
Stuff each jumbo shell with the ricotta and beef mixture.
Filling the shells ensures each bite is packed with flavor.
Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish and cover with remaining marinara sauce.
Covering the shells with sauce keeps them moist and adds flavor.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
The cheese topping will create a delicious, gooey crust as it bakes.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Baking covered helps the shells cook through while keeping them moist.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the cheese to set a bit, making the shells easier to handle.
