Ingredients
  

20 large jumbo pasta shells

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup garlic butter (1/2 cup unsalted butter + 4 cloves garlic, minced)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

    Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic butter (save a little for drizzling on top), Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

        Stuff the Shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take each cooked shell and carefully spoon the chicken and cheese mixture into it. Place the stuffed shells in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

          Add Alfredo Sauce: Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the top of the stuffed shells. Use a spatula to spread it gently if necessary.

            Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish. Drizzle any reserved garlic butter for extra flavor.

              Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
