Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta
- Begin by boiling salted water in a large pot. Add the jumbo pasta shells and cook them for about 8-10 minutes until they're al dente. Drain and let them cool.
Making the Filling
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cooked lobster, stirring to combine, and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lobster mixture with ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well blended.
Stuffing the Shells
- Using a spoon, fill each pasta shell generously with the lobster filling.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread half the marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the filled shells in the dish, and cover with the remaining marinara sauce.
- Top with extra Parmesan if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through. Then, remove the foil and broil for about 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Notes
Lobster Alternatives: Shrimp or crab can be swapped in if you prefer. If you have leftover filling, toss it into your next salad or stir it into a frittata. For a spicy kick, add a few red pepper flakes to the filling.
