How to make Lasagna Stuffed Shells:
Step one: Get started with this recipe by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Next prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step two: Next cook your jumbo pasta shells according to directions until cooked to al dente. Drain and then rinse with cold water and set aside.
- Tip: Since you will be stuffing then baking these make sure to not over cook your pasta.
Step three: In a skillet heat your oil then saute onions. Then add ground beef and cook and crumble until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper then drain.
- Tip: I used olive oil but any oil will work.
Step four: Now mix your ricotta cheese with 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning.

Combine cheese mixture with ground beef for filling.

To your preprared casserole dish add ¾ cup of spaghetti sauce. Spoon in filling into each shell and place them into a casserole dish. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce and shredded mozzarella.

Cover casserole dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and bake for 5-10 more minutes until cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.

Can cottage cheese be substituted for the ricotta cheese?
Yes you can!
This was delicious! We made it exactly as called for in the recipe, with the exception of substituting onion powder for onion pieces. Our picky family loved it!
Hey, if you have picky eaters and you found something they will all eat and enjoy, that makes me super happy!
I’m making this now I doubled and added fresh parsley. I’m making one batch for daycare one for family. Can I fresh the daycare one. The noodles will have been cooked just not put in oven. Or should I bake it than freeze it? I’m making now so not sure you will see this in time
Yup! You definitely can freeze them. I would recommend not baking the item until you are ready to eat.
