Instructions

Cook the Pasta Shells

  1. Boil Water: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. Spread Marinara Sauce: Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  3. Stuff the Shells: Using a spoon, carefully fill each cooked jumbo shell with the cheesesteak filling, placing them in the baking dish.
  4. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
