Delight in tender pasta shells filled with a savory mixture of mushrooms and ricotta, enhanced by a fragrant white wine sauce for an elegant Italian-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped mushrooms and thyme, cooking until mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour in white wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the mushroom mixture with ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  7. Stuff each cooked shell with the mushroom and cheese mixture and arrange them in the dish.
  8. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For added richness, drizzle a little truffle oil over the finished dish before serving or pair with a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
