Ingredients:

• ¾ cup parmesan cheese , grated
• 3 eggs

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Combine cheeses, eggs, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.
3. Fill each pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.

Made these ahead in the weeks before my baby was due. Super simple and delicious- even from the freezer. Thanks!

This is one of my DD favorite recipes as she does not like meat. My recipe only calls for 2 cups sauce but other than that it is the same. I have had the recipe so long, I don't even remember where I got it. Great meal. Thanks for posting.
