Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil; add pasta; cook 3 minutes less than package directions until al dente. Drain; rinse with cool water; set aside.
While pasta is cooking, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine whipped cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into shells or spoon the filling into a large pastry bag or plastic bag, and cut off the tip then pipe into shells; place shells in prepared baking dish, nestling them in the sauce. Cover shells with remaining marinara sauce; sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Serve immediately.
