Ingredients

• 1 package jumbo pasta shells , 16 ounce
• 4 cups large curd cottage cheese
• 12 ounces mozzarella cheese , shredded

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 3

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

4. 4

   Mix together cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Rub oregano and parsley between your palms to pulverize them, then stir into cheese mixture.

5. 5

   Stuff cheese mixture into pasta shells.

6. 6

   Spread 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 15x10-inch baking dish. Place shells, seam-side up, close together in the dish. Spread remaining sauce on top; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 25 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
