Ingredients

  • 12 oz jumbo shells
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 16 oz ricotta (I used whole milk)
  • 1/2 c panko
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/2 c finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 c parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 c heavy cream

  • salt and pepper
  • 4 c marinara sauce
 (1 1/2 jars)
  • 1/2 lb fresh lightly salted mozzarella, shredded

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp. parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. basil, chiffonade

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. 

  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, cook shells according to package directions for al dente. Drain and transfer to a flat surface to cool while preparing remaining ingredients.
  3. Combine pork, ricotta, panko, garlic, egg, Parmigiano, the 1/2 cup of parsley, 1/4 cup of cream, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix well (I used my hands). 

  4. In a medium bowl, mix the marinara sauce with the remaining cup of cream. Spoon half of the sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  5. When shells are cool enough to handle, stuff each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pork mixture and rest in the sauce. Pour remaining sauce over the shells and sprinkle the mozzarella on top. 

  6. Cover baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for 15 minutes longer, until bubbling and 
the pork is cooked through.
  7. Let stand for 10 minutes, then garnish and serve.
