Ingredients

  • 30 large pasta shells
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 1 ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated Mozzarella Cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Romano Cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 15 ounces garlic Alfredo sauce (1 jar)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare shells to al dente according to package directions. Drain water from shells, pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl combine Mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano cheese. Remove ½ cup for topping. Add cottage cheese, egg, pepper and salt. Stir until well combined. Add chicken and stir until completely combined.
  • Spoon 1 cup Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared pan. Stuff shells with chicken mixture either using a spoon or a small scoop. Arrange in prepared pan in single layer. Spoon remaining Alfredo sauce over shells. Sprinkle with reserved cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

FRIDGE: Place each leftover stuffed shell into an airtight container and store for up to 3 days.
FREEZER: Prepare the entire pan up to the point of baking. Then cover it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. You can bake from frozen, just add on some extra time! You can also freeze leftover fully baked shells for about 2 months.
Reheat in the oven for best results, or the microwave for something quick and convenient!
