Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and parboil the shells for 8 minutes. They should be flexible but still firm. Drain and lay them out on a tray to keep them from sticking.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the ricotta, squeezed spinach, egg, parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Spread about a cup of marinara across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
Step 4
Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the filling and arrange them open-side up in the dish. Spoon the rest of the marinara over the top, leaving the tops of the shells visible. Scatter the mozzarella across the top.
Step 5
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
