Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In large saucepan, cook shells according to package directions; drain.

In medium bowl, combine Canadian Mozzarella, Canadian Cottage and Canadian Parmesan cheeses, eggs and parsley.

Fill each shell with cheese mixture. Divide tomato sauce among 4 individual shallow casseroles.

Arrange 4 filled shells in each casserole. Cover and bake 20 minutes or until heated through.

Tips

If you don't want to use individual casseroles, spread tomato sauce in 8-cup (2 L) shallow rectangular casserole; arrange filled shells on top. Cover and increase baking time to 30 minutes.

* Or you can use shredded Canadian Provolone, Cheddar or Gouda cheese.

** Or you can use Canadian Ricotta cheese.
