Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 3 pounds - Hamburger
  2. 1 pounds - Italian sausage
  3. 48 ounces - Ricotta
  4. 1 pounds - Mozzarella shredded
  5. 1 pounds - Parmesan shredded
  6. 3 - eggs beaten
  7. 1 cans - bread crumbs
  8. 2 boxes - large shell pasta
  9. - sauce
  10. 1 bunches - Italian parsley chopped

Directions:

Brown the sausage and hamburger, drain and let cool
Add almost one container of ricotta to meat
Add half the mozzarella and half the parmesian
Whip the eggs and add
Add 1 cup of the bread crumbs

Using your hands (yes! Your hands ) mix this well

Cook the pasta to directions (about nine minutes will suffice)
Drain pasta and rinse with cool water. Keep shells submersed to keep from sticking
In a 9 X 13 pan coat bottom with some sauce
Take a shell and pack it well (whoa! A rhyme)
Pack until you run out of shells or meat, or your hands fall off ( at this point I would like to apologize to the handily challenged)
Arrange in pan as you pack, then spoon sauce over the top
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and add a dollop of ricotta to each shell
Sprinkle with chopped Italian parsley

Cook covered in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes
Serve with garlic toast and salad
