With mixer, blend 2 eggs & ricotta cheese. Add parmesan & shredded mozzarella & mix well. (The mozz will stay lumpy but this will melt during baking.) Add parsley, ginger & pepper & mix well. Stuff each cooked shell with cheese mixture using a well rounded top per shell and place side by side in a baking dish that's been rubbed with butter/spray oil. Cover with sauce and bake at 350 for 30 min.

Shells may be stuffed or frozen. Do not add sauce until you are ready to bake. (Serves 8-10)
