• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp. parsley
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 2 boxes jumbo pasta shells
• spaghetti sauce

*I used cottage cheese for price reasons, you would need 2 tubs of the cottage cheese.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare your pasta shells, bring water to a boil, then add pasta shells cook for about 15 minutes, til just before they are soft.

Prepare your cheese filling. Beat eggs in a bowl and add all of your cheeses and spices. Mix well.

Using a tablespoon, stuff your shells with the cheese mixture Using a casserole dish cover bottom lightly with some spaghetti sauce. Place your filled shells in the bottom of the casserole dish. (I use 2 casserole dishes). Cover your filled shells with spaghetti sauce. Bake for 45 minutes.
