Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally to prevent

Stir in ricotta, basil and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pour marinara sauce into bottom of 8x8-inch baking dish. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon mushroom mixture into each pasta shell. Place in prepared dish. Top with grated Parmesan. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Transfer shells to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

Serves 2.
