[B]Directions [/B]

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook shells according to package directions (until al dente). Drain and plunge into cold water to cool. Drain again and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mozzarella cheese, parmesan, ricotta, eggs, spinach, garlic, pepper and parsley. Pour a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 12×9 baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spoon the cheese mixture into each shell and place right side up in baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the shells. Cover loosely with tin foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes. [B][I](Connie “Kiyu” Guerrero)[/I][/B]
