Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells; cook for half of the cooking time on the package instructions, making sure NOT to overcook. Drain; rinse in cool water; set aside.
In a bowl, mix together Ricotta and Romano cheeses, parsley, basil, egg, salt and pepper, to taste and half of the Parmesan cheese; stir until combined.
Assembly.
Coat the bottom of a baking dish with some marinara sauce. Fill each half-cooked shell with the cheese mixture; place face-down on the sauce. Repeat with the shells until the cheese mixture is gone. Top shells with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle on the Mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
Bake until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
Serve with crusty French bread and perhaps a side salad.
6-8 servings.
