Here are the stuffed shells after adding sauce and covering with cheese.
In a 9″ x 13″ baking dish spray the bottom and put a thin layer of sauce down. Then with a tablespoon stuff the shells with the mixture above. Take the sauce and put it over the shells then sprinkle over the sauce with extra Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Bake on 350° for 30 minutes covered with foil. Be sure and spray the underside of the foil first to prevent it from sticking to the cheese.
