Step-by-Step Instructions for Alfredo Stuffed Shells
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo pasta shells and cook for about 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions for al dente. Drain and cool on a clean towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, the large egg, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning or fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Using a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of creamy Alfredo sauce on the bottom to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Fill each cooled jumbo shell with 1½ to 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling. Arrange them filled-side up in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce generously over the shells and sprinkle the leftover shredded mozzarella on top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25 minutes until the sauce bubbles slightly around the edges.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before serving.
