Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a large bowl, combine ingredients "cottage cheese" through "egg".

  3. Pour half of the sauce in a 9x13 pan (I never measure the sauce, I just pour it from the jar). Fill the shells full with the cheese mixture, and place them into the pan with the sauce.

  4. Drizzle the remaining sauce lightly over the top of the shells (or spoon sauce from the jar over the shells, like I do). Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

  5. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
