Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, blend together pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, dried sage, ground nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and the egg until smooth.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Carefully fill each shell with the pumpkin ricotta mixture and place them opening side up in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or sage.

Notes
Make sure the stuffed shells are evenly covered with marinara sauce before baking to prevent dryness.
