Stuffed shells with spinach and ricotta

Your Dad will flip over these sensational cheesy stuffed shells that come together really quick! Garnished with pine nuts and lardons, it's one of the most delicious ways to show your love. 

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Use a jar of marinara sauce to spread across the bottom of an ovenproof baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 15-oz containers of ricotta cheese, 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stuff the cooked shells with the seasoned cheese mixture, and arrange them on top of the marinara sauce. Top with 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
