Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Ingredients:
12 jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups marinara sauce

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stir in the spinach mixture.
Spoon the cheese and spinach mixture into each cooked pasta shell and place them in a baking dish.
Pour marinara sauce over the stuffed shells.
Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before serving.
