- Drain the shells and spread them on clean kitchen towels to cool before stuffing.
- Mix the cheese filling until creamy, then put it in a piping bag or plastic bag, snip off the tip and fill each shell.
- Spread a ½-inch layer of meat sauce in a large non-stick baking dish and arrange the stuffed shells in it.
- Spoon a layer of sauce over the shells without fully covering them, then sprinkle the remaining half of the mozzarella on top.
- Cover with parchment paper and then foil, or lightly oil the foil. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 15 more minutes until bubbly and crispy.
