Ingredients

Marinara pasta sauce

Jumbo pasta shells

Olive oil

Shredded mozzarella cheese

Chopped fresh basil, for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

Add the frozen meatballs, cover and let simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Fill a large pot with 4-6 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and then add the jumbo pasta shells.

Cook the jumbo pasta shells for 9 minutes, drain and let them cool for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 20 of the cooked and cooled pasta shells out evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese on top of each stuffed pasta shell is melted.
