Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the pasta shells: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the creamy sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the cream: Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Combine the filling ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded chicken, half of mozzarella, and half of the parmesan. Mix until well combined.
  6. Stuff the pasta shells: Fill each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta and chicken mixture.
  7. Prep the baking dish: Spread half of the creamy garlic sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Arrange the stuffed shells: Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish open side up and pour the remaining creamy sauce over them.
  9. Add more cheese: Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  11. Let cool: Remove from the oven and let the shells cool for a few minutes before serving.
