Preparing the Dish
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a large baking dish generously.
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the jumbo shells for 2-3 minutes less than the package suggests, until just al dente. Drain and spread them on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
- Season the ricotta in a bowl with kosher salt and black pepper, adding half of the grated Pecorino Romano. Mix until combined.
- Stuff each shell with the ricotta mixture and arrange them upright in the prepared baking dish.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, adding minced garlic and sautéing until fragrant.
- Whisk in flour, then slowly add champagne and heavy cream, whisking until sauce thickens.
- Season the creamy sauce with black pepper and pour over the stuffed shells.
- Top with remaining Pecorino Romano cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
