STUFFED SHELLS 
1 (12 oz.) box San Giorgio jumbo shells, uncooked
4 c. ricotta cheese (2 lb.)
2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese (8 oz.)
3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
3/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce (32 oz. jar)

Cook jumbo shells according to package directions; drain. Cool in a single layer on wax paper or aluminum foil to keep shells from sticking together. Combine cheeses, eggs, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Fill each shell with about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture.

Spread a thin layer of sauce on bottom of 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Place shells, open side down, in a single layer in the pan; cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 350 degrees about 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Fills about 36 shells. 10-12 servings.

Stuffed Shells

 Sandie (Ontario) says:
San Giorgio does not make the jumbo shells anymore. I looked everywhere for them because when I make shells, I use their recipe on the back of the box. I never have written it down and I only make shells once a year to once every 2 years. You can even go to their website and it's not shown as one of their products.Thanks for this recipe, I hope we like it.

I stumbled onto a few boxes of San Georigo Jumbo Shells in a Food Lion here in Maryland just a month ago, this is the recipe with the exception of:
san georgio calls for 2 eggs not 3
and for 3 cups (26 oz.) of spaghetti sauce not 3-1/2.

Thanks for the update Sandie & Denise! I to only made stuffed shells every blue moon. But your right Denise, San Giorgio did only use 2 eggs. I am grateful for the heads up to you both!

I've been looking for this recipe since I lost mine. The original recipe did have 3 eggs and 3 1/2 c sauce. Yum! I always get rave reviews when I use this recipe.

I also cook 1 lb. of ground beef and add that so I use three eggs. Barilla brand makes jumbo shells. Can be found at Acme and Safeway.

I had about HALF of the mixture leftover after over filling my shells... other than that, great!

 Hershey (Florida) says:
Three eggs are too many. Two eggs are perfect. You want to taste the ricotta for one, and two - you do not want the ricotta to come out too thick. Also, try to stay away from "Polly-o". Sargento's provide the best quality ricotta at about the same price. Hope this helps.
