  • Step 4: Stuff each cooked pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture.

  • Step 5: Arrange stuffed shells in the casserole dish.

  • Step 6: Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 7: Pour the white sauce over shells. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Italian cheese blend (or more).

  • Step 8: Cover with foil; bake 40 to 50 minutes or until bubbly.

  • Step 9: After baking sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  • Step 10: Serve.
