About Stuffed shell pasta with cheese

Stuffed Shell Pasta with Cheese is a delightful Italian-inspired dish featuring jumbo pasta shells generously filled with a creamy blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, often complemented by herbs like parsley or basil. This comforting dish is typically baked in a rich tomato marinara sauce, which adds a tangy balance to the rich filling. Stuffed shells are a great source of protein and calcium from the cheese, but they can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of cheese and sauce used. The tomato-based sauce provides vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene. While the dish is indulgent, pairing it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can make it part of a balanced meal. It's a popular choice for gatherings and family dinners, enjoyed for its savory flavors and satisfying texture.
