How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly oil a 12 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Lightly oil the baking sheet and set aside.
- Partially cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly tender but still quite firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- You will continue cooking the shells in the oven after they have been stuffed.
- Using a slotted spoon, drain pasta shells and place on oiled baking sheet, spreading them out so that they don't stick together and allow to cool.
- Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the pancetta and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes.
- Add the garlic and saute until tender, about 1 minute.
- Add the marinara sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often.
- In a medium bowl, stir the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolks, basil, parsley, mint, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Spoon 1 1/4 cups of the sauce over the prepared baking dish.
- Fill the cooked shells with the cheese mixture, about 2 tablespoons per shell.
- Arrange the shells in the prepared dish.
- Spoon the remaining sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the mozzarella.
- Bake in the lower third of your oven until the filling is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
