Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
  • 4 cups large curd cottage cheese
  • 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Directions

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 4
Mix together cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Rub oregano and parsley between your palms to pulverize them, then stir into cheese mixture.

Step 5
Stuff cheese mixture into pasta shells.

Step 6
Spread 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 15×10-inch baking dish. Place shells, seam-side up, close together in the dish. Spread remaining sauce on top; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 25 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
