Very simple but good...

Half box of pasta shells (about 20)
- 1 container ricotta cheese (I think they’re 16 oz – whatever is at your standard grocery store)
- A few cloves of garlic, mashed through garlic press
- About 1 tsp. salt
- A few shakes of black pepper
- A few tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- About half a jar of tomato-based pasta sauce
- Handful shredded fresh parmesan cheese
- A few handfuls shredded mozzarella cheese

Boil shells as per package directions. Drain and make sure they don’t stick to each other.

Mix together the ricotta, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and egg.

Stuff your shells, maybe about a tablespoon per shell. Use up all the filling for about 20-24 shells.

Place shells in a 9×13 baking dish, drizzle with pasta sauce (I think I used about half of a jar or so), then sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake in 350 degree oven until hot and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes or so.
