Ingredients
  

  • 4-8 stuffed shells

Instructions
 

Microwave

  • Place the stuffed shells in a microwave-safe container and spritz with a little water or add extra sauce. Make sure that the container is covered.Start heating the shells first for a couple of minutes. Keep heating for fifteen-second intervals if the stuffed shells don't get reheated in the first couple of minutes.

Stove

  • Take a big pot with a lid and place your stuffed shells in a single layer.Cover the pot with the lid and place it on the stove, keeping it on the lowest flame.Before closing the lid, add 1 tablespoon of water to the pot so that the pasta doesn't stick to the pot's bottom. Keep checking the pasta every 5 minutes to see if the bottom isn't burning. Using a kitchen thermometer, check the temperature of the pasta, which should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.At this stage, you have successfully reheated the stuffed shells. 

Oven

  • Make a single layer of stuffed shells in an oven-safe dish. Cover the dish with a foil sheet so that the top is entirely beneath the foil. Before doing these steps, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for ten minutes.Stick the dish inside the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes until the pasta top starts to bubble (the melting cheese effect) 

Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Place a piece of foil in the basket and place the stuffed shells over the foil. Place the basket inside the air fryer and let the pasta cook for about 6-8 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.Take the foil out using baking gloves and enjoy your meal.
