- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, chives, garlic, and onion. Add the cooled beef and spinach mixture and stir to combine.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stuff each pasta shell with the beef and spinach mixture and place in the baking dish. Top with the remaining marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
