Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small pot or steamer, add water and bring to a boil. Add spinach for about 1 minute until wilted, chop finely, and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, add large pasta shells, and cook for approximately 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, grated pecorino, minced garlic, oregano, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce in a 9×13 baking dish. Stuff each pasta shell with the filling and arrange them in the dish, open side up.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and edges are golden.
- Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving warm, drizzled with extra marinara sauce if desired.
