1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Boil water in a large pot with 1 teaspoon salt. The water should be as salty as the ocean.
3
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in the boiling water for 2 minutes less than directed on the package, then drain and rinse with cool tap water.
4
For the filling, combine half of the shredded mozzarella (7.5 oz), ricotta, grated parmesan, chopped basil, salt, pepper, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir well.
5
Whip the cheese mixture until it's light and fluffy.
6
Spoon 1 cup of tomato sauce each into the bottom of an 8x12 inch and an 8x8 inch baking dish.
7
Fill each shell with a spoonful of the cheese mixture and arrange them snugly in the baking dishes, open side downwards.
8
Top the shells in the baking dishes with 2 cups of tomato sauce, distribute the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and sprinkle extra grated parmesan if desired.
9
Cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted.
10
Serve the shells garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
