Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta, as well as a generous amount of salt, and stir. Cook the pasta until al dente, about 15 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with olive oil. Set aside.
Pour the marinara sauce into a 8”x 8” baking dish and move around to form an even coat. In a mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients and stir together well. Season together with salt and pepper.
Using a spoon, scoop a small amount of the filling and stuff into a pasta shell. Nestle the stuffed shell into the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shells until the baking dish is filled. Top the baking dish with a sprinkle of parmesan. Tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the parmesan begins to bubble and lightly brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Chunky Marinara Sauce
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat; add the onion and cook a few minutes until softened (you can let it caramelize a little if you want), stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, spinach, salt, pepper, and a splash of water and cook until the spinach is wilted and the water is evaporated, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Spread 1-teaspoon butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange 4 slices of bread (butter side down) on a cutting board and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella on top of each. Divide the spinach mixture between the four sandwiches, spreading it on top of the mozzarella, and then sprinkle 2 tablespoons more mozzarella on top of the spinach. Place the remaining slices of bread on each (butter side up).
Grill the sandwiches in a large frying pan (or on a griddle) over low heat until golden on both sides. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese on top of each sandwich and serve warm, along with Chunky Marinara Sauce for dipping.
