kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta shells until al dente. Drain, then let cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together ricotta, Italian cheese blend, egg, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff mixture into shells.
In a saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add cream and bring to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan. Season with pepper.
