Three cheese stuffed shells

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 Dried Jumbo Pasta Shells
1 Egg; Beaten
1 Container (12 Oz) Low-Fat Cottage Cheese; Drained
½ cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Snipped Fresh Parsley
½ teaspoon Dried Oregano; Crushed
1 can (14 1/2 Oz) Italian-Style Stewed Tomatoes; Cut Up
1 can (8 Oz) Tomato Sauce
Snipped Fresh Parsley

Directions

Cook shells about 18 minutes or till tender but still firm. Drain well.

Cool shells in a single layer on a piece of greased foil. Meanwhile, for filling, stir together egg, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, the 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, and oregano. Spoon a scant ¼ cup filling into each cooked shell. Arrange filled shells in a 2-quart square baking dish. Combine undrained tomatoes and tomato sauce; pour over shells in baking dish. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes more or until heated through. Sprinkle with additional snipped parsley.

NOTES : Use tongs to avoid tearing shells when lifting out of boiling water. When spooning filling, use two spoons; one to hold filling, one to scrape into shell.
