  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering these ingredients is like preparing for a culinary symphony, where each component plays its part in creating a masterpiece:

  • 12 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound mushrooms, finely chopped (button or cremini work well)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth for added depth)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Let’s embark on a culinary adventure together, step by step, to create this delightful dish:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked mushroom-garlic mixture, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  6. Fill each cooked pasta shell with the mushroom-cheese mixture and place them in a greased baking dish.
  7. In the same skillet used for the mushrooms, add the heavy cream and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.
  8. Pour the creamy mixture over the stuffed shells in the baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  11. Garnish with fresh basil before serving, if desired.
