Chef's Notes
Do not skip letting the ricotta reach room temperature, or your cheese filling will weep water and ruin the velvety texture we worked so hard to achieve.
Pro Tip
Struggling with spooning cheese into tiny pasta? Load your cheese filling into a zip-top bag, snip off one corner, and pipe the filling into the shells like an absolute professional.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you blast the heat on high instead of medium-low, the bottom of your marinara sauce will scorch and taste like a campfire before the cheese even has a chance to melt.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Oh, how noble of you to cook pasta on the stove instead of the oven! Surely the extra five minutes saved will be spent solving the kingdom's national debt.
The Culinary Science
Simmering pasta directly in a covered skillet traps steam, allowing the cheese to melt quickly without needing an actual oven.
