Ingredients :
- 12 jumbo pasta shells
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions :
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, and heavy cream. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Take each cooked pasta shell and fill it generously with the creamy chicken mixture. Place the stuffed shells in a baking dish.
- Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once finished, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these delicious creamy Cajun chicken stuffed shells as a comforting meal!
