Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions. Drain and let them cool.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, stirring until smooth.

Step 4

Fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta mixture, and place the filled shells in a baking dish.

Step 5

Spoon the beef and marinara sauce mixture over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle the mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.

Step 6

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
