How to make it
- Preheat oven or broiler to 450 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt water and add pasta. Cook shells 12 to 15 minutes, they should be softened but still undercooked at the center. Drain pasta and cool.
- Combine ricotta, 1/2 of the diced mozzarella, a couple of handfuls of Parmigiano and 1/2 of the Asiago. Add parsley to the cheeses and stir to combine.
- To a small saucepot over moderate heat add oil, garlic and onions. Saute onions and garlic 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper. Simmer sauce 5 minutes and stir in basil leaves

It's a good recipe, especially with the Parmesan and Asiago to sharpen the Ricotta. Might I suggest you add 1 egg to the cheese mix before stuffing the shells? I've learned this little trick gets it to hold it's shape much better so when you cut into...more
