  3. Place a layer of spaghetti sauce, minced or whole garlic, oregeno, fresh basil, fresh parsley and ground black pepper into two oven safe baking sheets. Disposables work best.

  4. Layer pasta shells dome side up so cheese and sauce can pile deep inside and pipe on your ricotta cheese mixture. Then drizzle on more spaghetti sauce, shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, oregano and black pepper on top.

  5. Seal both up tightly and bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Serve with a tangy Italian salad to cut the richness of the cheeses and super thick garlic bread slices to the side. Enjoy!
