Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring salted water to a rolling boil and cook the jumbo pasta shells for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, sage, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and the egg until smooth.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Fill each pasta shell with the filling and place them in the baking dish with the open side up.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella.
- Drizzle olive oil on top and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally garnishing with parsley or sage.

Notes
Perfect for autumn evenings, the shells can also be assembled a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
