Preparation

Step 1

# Set an oven rack to the highest position and heat oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and run under cold water to cool.
# Spread the marinara sauce in the bottom of a large broiler proof baking dish.
# In a bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach, Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spoon the mixture into the shells and place them on top of the sauce.
# Sprinkle the shells with the mozzarella and bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.
# Increase heat to broil. Broil the shells until cheese begins to brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve with the salad, if desired
