Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook 12 jumbo shells in salted boiling water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups ricotta, 0.5 cup mozzarella, 0.25 cup chopped basil, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until well combined.
Step 3
Spread 1 cup marinara sauce in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture and arrange in the dish.
Step 4
Pour remaining 1 cup marinara over the shells, then sprinkle with remaining 0.5 cup mozzarella. Bake until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with extra basil leaves before serving.
