Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook jumbo shells in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, mix cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Drain pasta shells, arrange into a baking dish, and stuff with cheese mixture. Pour tomato sauce over shells.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted, about 45 minutes. Remove dish from oven, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Top shells with remaining mozzarella cheese and broil until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
