  • Bring a very large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the pasta shells. Cook according to the package instructions minus a few minutes since the pasta continues to bake in the oven. Place a clean kitchen towel on the countertop. When ready, drain the shells and place them upside down on a clean tea towel to remove excess water and to cool down.
  • While waiting for the pasta, sauté the chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until beginning to soften (3-4 minutes).
  • In a large bowl combine all the ingredients to make the cheese mixture. That is 2 cups fresh ricotta, 2 eggs, ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese or Pecorino Romano Cheese, 1½ cups freshly grated mozzarella and 2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley.
