STUFFED SHELLS ITALIAN 
1 box jumbo shells
3 c. ricotta cheese, or well drained cottage cheese
12 oz. shredded Mozzarella
3/4 c. grated Parmesan
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. chopped parsley
3/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 c. spaghetti meat sauce

Cook shells; drain and cool in paper towels. Combine cheeses with beaten eggs, salt, parsley, oregano, and pepper. Fill shells. Spread a thin layer of sauce in 9 x 12 rectangular baking dish. Place shells in one deep. Cover with part of sauce. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Heat remaining sauce and serve with shells. Makes 10 servings. Excellent recipe for freezing and baking at a later time. Freeze shells apart from sauce. Can freeze quickly on cookie sheet and then store in plastic bag.
