1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta shells for about 8 minutes until just al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.

3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, cooked spinach, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4

Take each cooled shell and fill it with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.

5

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom.

6

Arrange the filled shells in a single layer over the tomato sauce. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the shells.

7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

8

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9

Let it cool slightly before serving.
