\nCook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
\nCook the Beef Mixture:
\nIn a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the marinara sauce. Remove from heat.
\nMake the Ricotta Filling:
\nIn a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
\nStuff the Shells:
\nFill each cooled pasta shell with the ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells in a baking dish in a single layer.

\nSpoon the beef and marinara mixture evenly over the stuffed shells.
\nSprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
\nBake:
\nCover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
\nRemove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
\nServe:
