Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add fresh spinach and wilt for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, shrimp, crab meat, half the mozzarella, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Fold in the cooled spinach mixture.
- Spread half the marinara sauce in a baking dish and stuff each shell with the filling before arranging them beside each other.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over the shells and top with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving to allow everything to set beautifully.

Notes
Thaw seafood properly, prep ahead, and consider adding breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping. Check cheese quality and don't overfill shells while stuffing.
