- In a separate mixing bowl, combine mozzarella and provolone cheeses. Mix well.
- In a large bowl, mix ricotta, half of the cheese blend, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, beaten egg, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Fold in the browned beef.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom.
- Stuff each cooked pasta shell with the beef and cheese filling and place them seam side up in the baking dish.
