Hey there, food adventurers! I recently stumbled upon an exciting recipe: Shotgun Shells! If you love the combination of hearty pasta, savory sausage, and gooey cheese, you're in for a treat. These are so much fun to make and even more delicious to eat! Here's how you can whip up this delightful dish:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Procedure:

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the sausage: In a skillet, cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked sausage and mix well.
4. Stuff the shells: Carefully fill the manicotti shells with the sausage and cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
5. Arrange in a baking dish: Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce into a baking dish, place the stuffed shells on top, then cover with the remaining sauce.
6. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until bubbly.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and enjoy your shotgun shells hot!
